Not many of her fans would forget the bitter divorce between popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele and her first husband, Adeola Kehinde Oloyede aka Kendu.
Then, Oloyede was ready to wash the dirty linen in social media but friends and associates prevailed on him to stop the act.
Recall that the ‘Jenifa’ comedy series actress, Funke married Kehinde on May 26, 2012, but the union crashed on July 2013.
The couple cited irreconcilable differences.
The couple never spoke about the incident or marriage but kept quiet as they both remarried and had kids with their spouses.
However, Funke opened up on why she married Kendu, the divorce and how she managed the drama on social media.
Speaking during an interview with popular media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Funke openly said the only reason why she wanted to share that part of her life is to encourage ladies out there that are in a rush to get married.
Akindele-Bello, who also celebrated her 44th birthday on Tuesday, and her fifth wedding anniversary with musician and producer, Rasheed Bello aka JJC SKillz remarried in May 2016 at an private ceremony in London.
Urging ladies that are pressured to get married not to feel desperate, she cautioned them to be calm, be patient and added that if ‘they rush in, they will be forced to rush out.’
She said, “I don’t want to drag anybody. I’ll talk about myself. I just wanted to get married. Children, pressure and all that.
“The marriage ended in a bad way. It was on social media. I was filming when someone called and told me. I wanted to die. I cried and lost a lot of deals.
“I survived that period by channelling my pain into work. I was collecting every script from the east )Enugu axis of Nollywood) and acting.
“I rushed into the marriage out of pressure and it didn’t end well,” she said.
Funke further advised women never to be pressured into getting married or having children as it will not end well.
