The ongoing drama between popular comedian, Ayo Makun aka AY and his estranged wife, Mabel seems to have reached a peak some hours ago.
The 15-year-old marriage between the couple crashed like a pack of badly stacked cards when Mabel took to Instagram and released a statement announcing end of the union which produced two daughters.
The beautiful lady who has been in the midst of a storm that engulfed her marriage to AY wrote:
“I want to express my sincere gratitude for the supportive messages that I have received from everyone.
However, my silence should not be misunderstood and also the father of my children whom I have been with for some years deserves a certain level respect and privacy from me and all the concerned parties. Most importantly because of our children whose mental health and general well being should be prioritized.
Many lies have been peddled against me and attack orchestrated on the social media space but I will honour my kids with my silence and not address any of these lies.
Although my dreams of a lifelong marriage has taken a different direction now, I’m committed to moving forward with grace and resilience. I have faith in a brighter future for both myself and the children. Despite the rumors or opinions, I find comfort in the belief that all will be well.
While it’s unexpected for things to end this way, I quietly ask for guidance from my faith as I step into this new chapter of life. Also as we navigate this change,I ask for your help in creating an atmosphere of respect and understanding. This is a challenging period, and I ask for privacy and consideration as we (my ex-husband and I) find our own path forward.
I wish him the very best in his journey as well.
God bless us all,
Mabel
For some years now, the union has been bedeviled with challenges that didn’t go unnoticed in social circles. Just in January 2024, AY’s wife cried out over threats to her life.
Recall the public show that transpired between the couple in 2017 when Mabel called out her friend, Freda Francis.
Mabel caused a stir in 2017 when she called out socialite Freda Francis over the latter’s relationship with her husband.
She posted a picture AY and Freda took at a party on Instagram and wrote “This is outright wickedness and I won’t take it! I think have had enough of the ridiculing. Freda Francis, stay away from my family and I mean it!”
Mabel and AY got married in 2008, the year they had their first child Michelle.
The couple welcomed their second child Ayomide in 2021.
They celebrated 15 years of friendship in 2017.
