On July 1, 2021, Portia Asare married Raymond Kwaku Marfo in a lovely ceremony. Photos from the wedding went viral on social media.
That was her second marriage, having divorced her first husband, Pastor John Wilberforce, whom she married in 2013.
Barely two years after her wedding, a rumour surfaced on social media that the Kumawood star's marriage was on the brink. While she flaunted her wedding ring to dispel the rumour, it did not end the speculations.
She later confirmed the divorce in August 2024, emphasising that she would not let the setback break her spirit.
Actress Portia Asare Boateng wants to remarry
Speaking at the Scars to Stars Conference at the Adenta Baptist Church on Saturday, April 4, 2026, the actress noted that despite her previous experiences, she was not past her prime when it comes to marriage.
"If marriage comes, I will marry. In fact, I am even praying about it. If it comes a thousand times, a million times, why not? Am I not beautiful as I sit here? Am I too old? Ei, me, I do not care about it oo. If God helps me to get one, I will marry.
She explained that she believes she chose her first two husbands without much input from God, hence the unfavourable outcomes.
"Because I did not rely on God in choosing the husbands I chose. I'm sure. God doesn't make mistakes. You know, in my second marriage, when the trauma started, I used to tell myself that affliction would not happen the second time, but affliction did happen. Would you say that God didn't listen to me? He did. He was with me even until now. He never left me. And so, I will marry again, and I am even praying about it,"
