Well-loved Ghanaian actress and media personality Nana Ama McBrown has openly shared that she is divorced from her husband of twelve years, Maxwell Mensah, describing the decision as a peaceful and mutual one.
Speaking on TV3’s New Day with Cookie T, the acclaimed actress revealed that the marriage ended without bitterness, emphasizing that the separation was handled with understanding, respect, and maturity.
“I am truly happy right now,” she said. “Yes, I have been through a divorce, and I am not ashamed to say it. We did it beautifully. My husband and I are cool, we talk, we meet, I visit my in-laws. There is no bitterness. We were both tired, we sat down, talked, and decided it was time to move on.”
The popular actress stressed that despite the end of the marriage, she continues to share a warm and cordial relationship with her former husband and his family. Although both her ex-husband and in-laws wished for the marriage to continue, McBrown admitted she no longer had the strength to stay.
“He is a good man. I still respect him deeply, but I became tired of the marriage,” she explained.
McBrown further disclosed that the marriage was contracted under customary law, meaning the separation required the involvement and agreement of both families, which was handled amicably.
What brings her the greatest joy, she said, is the beautiful daughter she shares with Maxwell Mensah; Baby Maxin, describing the child as the most precious gift from their union.
“I won’t marry again,” McBrown stated firmly. “I can give birth again, but I won’t marry again. I have been married for twelve years and honestly, when you see anyone who has stayed married for that long, applaud them.”
Before her public revelation, there had been widespread speculation about challenges within the marriage, with reports suggesting alleged infidelity as a contributing factor. However, McBrown chose to focus on peace, healing, and gratitude rather than controversy.
Nana Ama McBrown and Maxwell Mensah were married for 12 years and are blessed with a daughter, Maxine; a symbol, she says, of love, strength, and the beauty that remains even after a chapter end.
