Lizzy Gold has mentioned in an interview that her boyfriend was not supportive of her decision to go into acting. According to her, her then-boyfriend is of the opinion that “Nollywood actresses do not last in their marriages”.
This stance caused problems in their relationship because Lizzy was not willing to give up her profession because of a man. Instead of quitting her acting dream, she enrolled in an acting class to show the guy how serious she was about becoming an actress.
The couple finally split in 2013, and, according to Lizzy Gold, it wasn’t because of a major fight or anything of the sort. The guy didn’t have money and Lizzy Gold later stated in a 2014 interview that she would never be with a poor man.
