Gospel musician Empress Gifty has revealed the emotional toll of divorce, calling it a “nightmare” and one of the most painful experiences anyone can endure.
In a video posted on Instagram, she shared her personal journey through divorce and emphasised the deep mental anguish it caused, especially when the new partner is younger.
“You can’t begin to imagine the trauma that comes with divorce. It feels like you’re rebuilding your life from scratch; the situation becomes even harder when the new partner is younger, as family members often disrespect him and friends mock him, creating tension in the relationship.”
Further, Empress Gifty also highlighted the sense of security that comes with marrying an older man. Reflecting on her current marriage, she said her husband makes her feel safe and confident, particularly in public settings.
“When your husband is older, you feel protected. With my husband, I’m at ease because I know he’ll always stand up for me if anyone crosses a line,” she added.
