Heartbreak to Reunion: How Bukky Wright’s Nollywood Journey Reconnected Her with Her Children

Veteran Nollywood actress Bukky Wright has revealed that a painful separation from her children inspired her to pursue acting. She spoke about this difficult chapter at a recent entertainment event. Her former in-laws, who doubted her potential, took her children away when they were very young. Wright explained that she entered the film industry so her kids would always know where to find her, not to chase fame. Over the years, she rebuilt her bond with her family. After establishing a celebrated career, she moved abroad to be more present in her children’s adult lives. In late 2025, Wright joyfully marked the wedding of her son Eniola and thanked Allah for allowing her to witness that milestone.
