Without doubt, acting is a profession that dwells more on beauty than brains. It is not that the profession is full of dullards, but the fact remains that beauty and physical endowments especially with women rate higher. So it is surprising that despite being beautiful with good shape, some of them are still single even at a matured age of 40. Forget the fact that some of them were once married, the point is that they are not under any man they could regard as their better half. In this special write up, Trezzy Blog unveils many of them.
Rita Dominic: There is no prize for anyone who predicted the name of this actress to be number one on the list. This beautiful actress has been linked with many men in the past, but none of the relationships was eventful. There was even a time it was rumored she dated Nollywood bad boy, Jim Iyke. This also came to nothing as both of them denied the affair. And for now the search for 'Mr. Right' continues for Rita who is in her early 40s. Who knows, she could be lucky in 2016 to find the bone of her bones.
Kate Henshaw: This actress has been married more than once, yet she is still single; maybe she is searching for what one cannot not ascertain. Her second marriage to her British husband crashed few years ago. No doubt, Kate is one of the few actresses whose love affair was always celebrated in the media especially by paparazzis. Her love affair with Sammy Oposun was well pronounced. Give it to her, she still looks beautiful and attractive despite been in her mid-40s
Bimbo Akintola: She is one actress who never feels shy or ashamed of telling those who care to listen that she is singleand not desperate for marriage. Her relationship with Dede Mabiaku, one time Fela Anikulapo band boy, was never a secret as journalist fed on it. What many people could not understand about this actress who came to limelight in 1999 when she acted alongside Richard Mofe Damijo in a film titled "Out Of Bonds" is why she is not bordered by her single status. At 44, one could not understand why this Theatre Arts graduate from University of Ibadan, is comfortable with her status as a "SingleLady"
Genevieve Nnaji: If there is one actress living or dead that has been linked with many men in Nollywood, that actress is no other person than this Mbaise, Imo State born actress, Genevieve Nnaji. She has been linked with virtually everybody that matters in all sectors even to the presidency, when she was once romantically linked with former vice-president, Abubakar Atiku.
Not only that, she was also linked with D, Banj, a popular hip-hop artiste. But the irony of it is that, she has not been able to pin any man down as her 'Mr. Right'. In her late 30s (she will be 37, this year), whenever she is asked about her marital status, she calls it a no-go area
Iyabo Ojo: Beautiful Yoruba actress, Iyabo Ojo though came to the industry as a single mother, she has not been able to settle down with any man.

Lizy Anjorin: Despite her controversy altitude, Lizzy Anjorin still remains one of the most successful actresses in Yoruba sector of Nollywood.

Aishat Abimbola: Tall, beautiful and sexy actress, Omoge Campus, as Aishat is passionately called is one of the actressesin Nollywood who is ever blunt to any issue, without minding whose ox is gored. Her being single could be her weapon to fight for what she thinks is right. She walked out on her previous marriage on principle about what she described as not too good for her status and her level. This principled actress is not short of marriage proposals, but one cannot pin-point why she still remains single even at 40.
Monalisa Chinda: Her marriage to Nzeribe could not see the light of the day as both parties parted ways in a very controversial manner. And now this beautiful actress who is known for passionate acting is in the "Market" again in search of Mr. Right. She has been keeping mute on her next step as far as marriage is concerned. The question is, is Monalisa who is in her 40s short of men or just taking her time?
Ronke Odusanya—Her sojourn into the Nigeria movie industry, especially in Yoruba genre, did not come to many people as a surprise as she has the talent coupled with her sexy shape that could make a man to take a second look at her, but why all these have failed to get her noticed by the opposite sex is what people especially her fans can't understand.
Dayo Amusa: She has been linked with so many society men, yet no one could be ascribed to her as her man. There was a time she was once rumoured to be dating Wasiu Ayinde Marshal.

Bukky Wright: There is no need of delving into her past in the last 10 years, but this Abeokuta, Ogun State has seen it all.
