Veteran actor Hanks Anuku has spoken openly about how the death of the mother of his two children affected his career and nearly pushed him to withdraw from the world.
Anuku shared these details in a viral video recorded during what appeared to be a testimony session at the Mountain of God International Ministry (SMOGIM) in Abuja.
Although the actor did not disclose the identity of the mother of his children or the date of her passing, he previously revealed in March 2025 a desire to remarry following the collapse of his marriage to his Asaba-based ex-wife.
The 64-year-old, who spoke during an interview on Nollywood Hardcore, The Legend’s Untold Story, explained that his previous marriage failed due to incompatibility, leaving him traumatised and hesitant regarding new relationships. At the time, he confirmed he had a partner, and he described the death of the mother of his children as a deeply traumatic experience.
“I want you all to understand that no one can be perfect. I have been through many traumatic situations. First, I lost my baby mama. I wanted to marry her, but she passed away too soon. She is the mother of my children, my son and my daughter, over there. I remember when I first met her; we were always together, and everything was fine.
