Popular Ghanaian actress and television presenter Nana Ama McBrown has confirmed that she is divorced from her husband of 12 years, Maxwell Mensah, describing the separation as mutual, amicable, and free of bitterness.
Speaking in an interview on TV3, McBrown explained that both she and Mensah decided after honest conversations and continue to maintain a good relationship.
Rumors of marital difficulties had circulated before her announcement, with some reports suggesting possible extramarital affairs as a factor.
“I’m the happiest right now. I have gone through a divorce, and I am not ashamed to say it. I did it beautifully,” she stated, adding that she still communicates regularly with her former husband and remains close to his family.
The actress explained that the marriage ended because both parties felt emotionally exhausted and agreed it was best to part ways.
“We were tired. We sat down, talked about it, and decided to move on. We are the best of friends,” she said.
McBrown also noted that her former husband and in-laws wished for the marriage to continue, but she felt unable to go on despite still having affection for him.
“He is a correct guy. I still feel him, but I got tired of the marriage,” she explained.
The marriage was contracted under customary law, meaning the divorce only required the consent and involvement of both families.
Highlighting the positive from her marriage, McBrown said the greatest joy is the daughter she shares with Mensah, calling her child a priceless gift.
“I will not marry again. I can give birth again, but I won’t marry again,” she added, encouraging the public to celebrate celebrities who sustain long-term marriages.
“I have married for 12 years. When you see celebrities who have married for 12 years, applaud them,” she concluded.
