Actress and television host Nana Ama McBrown has adviced young women going through divorce not to resent with their estranged partner.
The TV host who confirmed her divorce with ex-husband, Maxwell explained that unity and together ness is needed to for ex-partners to be able to take good care of their children.
“…and let our divorce be an example to Ghanaians that when you are divorced, you don’t have to disrespect and insult each other or be enemies just because you are divorced,” she noted in an interview on TV3 New Day’s The Big Issue, Wednesday, December 17, 2025.
She continued: “I want to thank him (Maxwell) because we have children together. I want to advice persons going through divorce not to be fighting each other but come together, talk to each other and be cordial with each other.”
“This way, you can meet in public and relate well with each other because I cannot be at loggerheads with a man I have children with,” she added.
Opening up about her marital status, she revealed that she chose to speak publicly about her divorce to allow her ex-husband to move on freely
“I never wanted to share my marital issues publicly, but I want him to be free and also be free myself. So if any woman is interested in him and wants to have a relationship with him, she should go ahead because I am no longer with him.
“I don’t know if he is ready. But any lady should feel comfortable to be with him,” she stated.
While sharing her story, McBrown urged women not to use her situation as a justification to end their own marriages, emphasizing that personal circumstances differ.
“Nobody should listen to me and go and divorce their husband. We are different people with different situations. Think about it before you take that step.”
McBrown also encouraged women to be financially independent, saying that while support from a man is beneficial, women should be able to stand on their own.
“I will encourage every woman to work to be independent without a man. It is good to have support from a man, but without it, you should be able to stand.”
McBrown’s candid remarks shed light on her personal journey while offering practical advice to women about independence and thoughtful decision-making in relationships.
