Personal Life
Tracy Edwin is currently single and maintains a level of privacy regarding her romantic life on her Instagram page. She revealed in a recent interview that she can’t go naked in movies, no matter the offer. But I am okay with wearing just pants and a bra. I can also play any role, even if it involves deep kissing.
Maybe when I get married, I might stop the kissing and romance scenes. That will be after discussing it with my husband. But I can never quit my acting career for any man again. It’s my passion, except unless I am ready to let go.
I had done it before and ended up depressed. I left Nollywood for six years because of a relationship. My father is late and my sister, who was training me in school, wanted me to get involved with a man. They didn’t want me to pursue a career in Nollywood.”
