Messy details emerge on Funke Akindele's Marriage Breakup..


Well its all been in the news that Nollywood Actress Funke Akindele's marriage to Kehinde Oloyede Almoroof is over after her went on FB to publicly say so..

Well details have now emerged of what actually may have Caused the centre not to hold anymore..

See report by E247 Magazine below..

The marriage which suffered many hiccups shortly before it became known to the public, continually overwhelmed The Return of Jenifa star due to shocking and disturbing tales of extra-marital relationships that have led to not less than10 love children traced to Kehinde. 

The spate at which the estranged hubby's sexcapades played out nearly turned the hitherto adored actress to an object of ridicule and the topic of rile discussion among professional colleagues and fans. It worsens with caustic and cynical comments online. According to close family sources, the kitchen became too hot shortly after the marriage, as issues that did not surface prior to the wedding kept rearing their ugly heads and left unresolved. Kehinde, showed no remorse though after much pressure and damning reports in E24-7 Magazine, he admitted one of his mistresses, Modinat, and then three months pregnant for him was actually carrying his baby. Earlier, the media was awash with the shocking revelation that his second wife at home, Fadeke, was equally pregnant. Fadeke was forced to travel out during the wedding to Dubai, an indication that she did not support the union. 

In a typical Yoruba setting, the senior wife should receive the new bride into the family. Checks revealed Fadeke too was not formally received by the evicted first wife, Toun. All these and more drew public odium to the hitherto much loved The Return of Jenifa star, especially women who believed she’s a home wrecker. Though her world nearly crashed, Funke gathered the bits and pieces of her life, shunned critics, naysayers and had the wedding with all the trappings of a celebrity. Like a blind lover, she was rushed into the marriage. Even when it was obvious there was a crack in the marriage, she debunked all the reports: “ ‘My husband has never been married. I am the woman he got married to. I was married properly. A lot of negative comments came from sadists who want to run their mouths. So because I am a Youth Ambassador or a Celebrity, I can’t have my life? “‘It is my life. If I do things because people want me to, I will end up unhappy. I do what I do because I want to be happy. I would still continue to teach morals and campaign against HIV/AIDS and enlighten the youths. It doesn’t make me bad; that is even if it is, because I can tell you authoritatively that my husband is not married to anyone else. “‘Yes, he has beautiful children, who are not mine now and we have a cordial relationship, which dates back to even before we got married. “‘So what if he has kids? Is that a disease? That is where my heart is! I had many non-biological children even before I got married. I take them as my own children, pay their bills and help them. I have always loved children. So now that God has given me these ones, what should I do? “Will people be happier if I had married someone who didn’t have children, seem so perfect, put on my make-up and fake smile on the red carpet and start weeping when I get home? And about my in-laws, they are very wonderful and supportive and my parents and siblings as well..

 Funke Akindele, observers argued , must really be in love and with that claim the inquisitive media kept off her trail but it was only a matter of time. The secret cannot be kept away forever. As expected, Funke blinked first but she could not say it out. She knew it was over and ready to face it, not by defending herself but putting her struggles and triumphs behind her to face her career. They kept each other at measured distance and it worsened with the fact that elderly family members, influential personalities cannot intervene. Both are fiercely independent adults. Kehinde had been to Funke’s dad once and hardly call her mum. Time, they believed will heal all the wounds. Her mum, just like her siblings have become such an intricate part of keeping her strong.

So Funke Akindele's Marriage To Kehinde Oloyede is Over, Just After A Year!!

Saturday 26th may 2012 was the date,the occasio, a grand wedding of a Nigerian actress who was making waves in the industry.


She had succeeded in breaking the barrier of crossing over to acting in the english genre in the Nigerian film industry,Nollywood.


She was on top of her game doing so well with endorsements and movie roles flying here and there..

Then she informed the public she was getting married to Mr Kehinde Oloyede.

Then the stories began to fly.

He was a married man,with 2 wives,with 3 wives,with 7 children with this and that..

Then the society began to warn her not to do it ,how could a lawyer with an enviable career from a strong christian background,with a pastor for a mum, go ahead to marry a muslim, an "illiterate " with 3 wives,7 children,how could she! they all said.

The actress then had to put out a statement that her fans should be happy for her, which everyone did and wished her well.

The wedding was grand, with loads and loads of celebrity friends in attendance radiating smiles and happiness ..

 Or so it was until yesterday  when it all seemed to have gone pear shaped.


Most media outlets had been speculating as they were hardly seen in public together and that Mr Kehinde Oloyede supposedly welcomed another child from another woman after their wedding!

Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof then went on his FB according to report and put up a statement that his marriage to Funke Akindele had indeed ended..


"It’s with heavy heart that am announcing the separation of me and my wife Mrs olufunke akindele.
We’ve both agreed to go our separate ways because of irreconcilable differences.

We are still best of friends and we forever remain good friends.

"I am doing just fine, getting along without u,don't need u anymore in ma life.u d greatest mistake I have made in recent times."

After all "that" and the hope of a happy home with Joy and happiness, It has all ended in just over a year! 

So do we blame Funke for not listening to her fans when they warned and told her to tread with caution? or the other party who still had eyes for other women even after marriage?? or the Society who begins to question and pressurize successful women of a certain age that marriage is the ultimate??


Was Funke sure of what she was getting into? or just blissfully unaware of what was ahead?


Lots of questions that may remain unanswered.
