Horrfying Details of Funke Akindele's Crashed Marriage

Last week, Funke Akindele marriage crash story became the hot topic on social media sites and Blogsphere with the release of break-up message written by her ex-husband, Kehinde Oloyede.

Her husband, Kehinde Oloyede last week Monday allegedly announced a “separation” via his facebook page. He said: “It is with heavy heart that I am announcing the separation of me and my wife, Mrs. Olufunke Akindele. We have both agreed to go our separate ways because of irreconcilable differences. We are still best of friends and we would forever remain good friends.”

The statement, which the actress' husband has reportedly deleted from his facebook wall, generated concerns among the star's fans, who made the issue a major topic on social media platforms.

Reports say her husband may have removed the “notice of separation,” including a more defiance follow-up post from his facebook wall, due to pressure from friends and family members. The actress is said to have been crying inconsolably since the incident, fearing criticisms by her fans and her clients' reactions.

According to reports, Akindele, really went through hell in her marriage to Kehinde that, when the center could no longer hold, it just had to give way, and the promise of 'till death do us apart,' has since given way to separation.

Their marriage, which allegedly suffered many hiccups shortly before it became known to the public, reportedly overwhelmed Funke due to shocking and disturbing tales of extra-marital relationships that have led to not less than 10 love children traced to Kehinde.

Sources hinted us last week that the spate at which the estranged hubby's sexcapades played out nearly turned her into an object of ridicule and the topic of discussion among professional colleagues and fans.

According to close family sources, the kitchen allegedly 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 reportedly showed no remorse, though after much pressure and damning reports, he later admitted that one of his mistresses, Modinat, who was 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 their 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 Funke, 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, and had the wedding with all the trappings of a celebrity.

Funke, we learnt did not think twice before rushing into the marriage.

Even when it was obvious there was a crack in the marriage, she debunked all the reports, insisting that her husband has never been married. She insisted that she was the woman he got married to and that he was married properly.

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 realized that end was near for the marital union 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 could not 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 mother, just like her siblings, has 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 was said to be 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, Funke 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 reportedly 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 for a marriage many thought would last as against the trend in marriages of celebrities in this part of the world.

The conclusion on the lips of many watchers of events last week was that Funke should have looked before leaping instead of allowing 'this mess despite all her achievements as a talented actress, prolific producer and brands ambassador of note.’
