According to 'The Nation' , Funke Akindele sent them an SMS saying; "I read in the newspaper yesterday that I am divorced. What proof do you
have? And I am taking this to court because my marriage is intact. You
guys are rumour mongers. Funke Akindele Oloyede." Her husband is also claiming that his account was hacked by 'enemies of progress'. e247mag wrote an article about what went down in the marriage before the supposed collapse. Read it below and judge for yourselves;
It's official! The May 3, 2012 marriage of star actress, Funke Akindele,
to Kehinde Oloyede, real estate developer and son of the former Iyaloja
of Oshodi, has crashed, writes BIODUN KUPOLUYI. The hubby announced via
his FACEBOOK WALL:

"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. The mother has since moved to her Ikeja home to give her
strength. More evident that there was a crack in the marriage is each
time Funke stepped out on the red carpet, Kehinde never showed. He was
never with her at any public function. She however found company in her
immediate elder sister, Ayo Ola Mohammed and shut her doors at some
professional colleagues to avoid gossips.
“While the trouble was brewing
silently sources claimed that Funke gave several breaks and chances.
She would call him, begged him even when she was right but Kehinde just
wanted to have his own way not minding the consequences or effect of his
actions on her, her career and public perception. He cared less about
her status, in fact, all those negative media never got to him. He's
fiercely independent. Surprisingly, he returned to Modinat Dada, who
gave him a baby boy last October while he married Funke in May. It was a
slap on Funke's face. In the heat of this, she lost her pregnancy
though reliable sources hinted she was glad it happened as it prepared
her for the imminent exit.
The fact that both of them lived separately
also worsened the situation. While Funke can be traced to her Ikeja
home, her hubby is a 'bed sharer'. He shuttles between three known
women- Funke, Fadekemi, Modinat, and strangely too, other harem.
Baffling too is the issue of complex and security. Kehinde, according to
our source could not believe that Funke’s back-to- back endorsement
comes so easy. He thinks those corporate guys who give those
endorsements cannot really take their eyes off her. Severally, he
checked her phone and queried some names and the relationship she has
with her callers.”
Observers believe the fact that the marriage is
broken was hurting enough but the decision of Kehinde to announce it on
Facebook was heartbreaking and nasty. Not a few have lampooned him for
his action considered to be childish and immature. His post did not give
room for reconciliation. It went public and viral as soon as it was
posted. His “Facebook divorce", an observer said, confirmed the marriage
has been through hell and he needed to pour his broken heart out to the
world. At Funke’s home, mum is the word. Members of the family have
resolved to keep mute, fold their arms and watch how events unfold. It
is such an unhappy ending.
Soo sad. Really sad getting married to such a shameless man. So irresponsible and childish. Mtcheeeew.

What did Funke get herself into. That's why they say, look before you leap. She no look, she just jumped like a desperate woman. See now, rush in, rush out.
ReplyDeleteThe report says both of them are fiercely independent. I can't help but wonder if Funke got married just to spite the public. Is it possible that She told herself 'These people can't tell me what to do. It's my life and my choice' and married him even tho she knew He had this much baggage??
ReplyDeleteStubborn people do that often. They know they're headed for disaster but just because someone points it out to them, they will not turn back. They rather continue, just to show that no one is the boss of them.
*shrug* All the best to her sha.
