Nollywood actress-turned-evangelist Eucharia Anunobi has opened up about the painful realities of her past marriage to Charles Ekwu, revealing she was the sole financial provider throughout their relationship. Speaking on The Honest Bunch podcast, the 60-year-old disclosed that she single-handedly covered all living expenses, including rent, while her ex-husband contributed nothing. "I was the one paying the rent, I was the one doing everything. Charles never brought one naira," she said. Eucharia revealed she ignored her parents' warnings about the relationship, believing they would be fine. She also spoke about the tragic loss of her only son Raymond in August 2017, attributing his death to medical negligence by a student doctor who performed blood extraction instead of a transfusion. "I removed three pints of my son's blood," she said. Eucharia married Charles in 2000; they divorced after six years.
