The entertainer made the remarks during a conversation with media personality Morayo Afolabi-Brown, where he discussed the realities of married life and the growing number of separations in society.

His comments have since attracted attention online, with many social media users weighing in on his views.
Bovi explains stance on divorce
Speaking during the interview, the comedian said he believes some marriages become difficult environments for one or both partners.
Explaining his position, Bovi stated:
“I celebrate when people get divorced because I feel it means one or both people were not breathing well in the marriage.”
The actor noted that while divorce is often viewed negatively, he sees it differently when individuals are unable to thrive within a relationship.

Bovi also spoke about his personal experience as a married man, acknowledging that marriage comes with challenges.
While discussing his relationship, he said:
“My own marriage hasn’t been easy, but I would never make life difficult for anyone, and I wouldn’t want anyone to make my life difficult.”
