Nollywood actress Stella Damasus has shared the emotional story of how her first husband, Jaiye Aboderin, died unexpectedly at the age of 33.
Speaking during a chat with Temisan Emmanuel on the *Tea With Tay* podcast, she recalled the painful moment that changed her life.
According to her, her husband had stepped out to play basketball but suddenly collapsed and did not survive.
Damasus said the incident came as a shock because there were no warning signs before it happened.
She explained that earlier that same day, they had made plans to go out with friends, not knowing tragedy would strike before then.
She described the experience as confusing and difficult to process at the time, as everything happened suddenly without any clear explanation.
She said: “I did not understand, there was no explanation for it. How can a 33-year-old man who went to play basketball just fall down and die.
“How? We were planning to go out that evening with our friends. So I just started thinking about life in a different way.
“I think that was the turning point in my life.”
The actress added that the incident changed her perspective on life, making her realise how quickly things can change without warning.
