The Ghanaian-American star Kofi Siriboe has opened up about his relationship style.
As it turns out Kofi Siriboe is nothing like his character in Harlem as he declared himself to be an ethical non-monogamy type of guy when it comes to relationships.
He recently sat down and spoke to LEVEL Man about his personal relationship style, in which he explained that he practices ethical non-monogamy.
During the conversation, he delved into his reasons for not wanting to settle down with one person.
He explained that his first two relationships lasted nearly five years, and because his life changed so much after the breakups, he decided to pursue something different.

The Harlem movie star explained:
“I started working every day. Then there’s the fame element and the abundance of people and exposure. I’ve just had different shifts and different seasons where it feels like, sometimes, monogamy feels like role-playing. It sometimes feels restrictive. So there’s an element of it that feels performative, and I understand the tradition of it. … But then there’s a part of me that just had questions. So I went through some phases where I’m like, ‘Well, why? Why do we do it like this, and is this how I want to do it?’”
He calls it a role play and also claims that he has “observed people play those roles,” including his parents.
The actor said he notices some “blind spots” but still respects the practice of monogamy.
“I honor the tradition, and I love the simplicity of monogamy and how we can still remain whole and still remain true to ourselves as individuals, as independent thinkers living this life.”
He concluded that the “real goal” was for daters to figure out what works best for them. “Whatever you do, just do it wholeheartedly.
