What went wrong?
It
is no more speculation that the marriage, which was contracted on
Saturday May 26, 2012, months after Nigerian Entertainment Today first
spotted the couple at Industry Nite, at the Oriental Hotel in Lagos, has
entered seriously troubled waters.
With more angles now coming
out, including allegations ‘Almaroof, the man who stole Funke’s heart
last year, swept her off her feet and landed her in the altar, has
become a serial baby daddy, keeping a string of affairs, and even
returning to the women he had prior to the celebrity wedding with Funke
Akindele, it was only a matter of time before it was all out in the air.
Just
like Mercy Johnson, who had a big pre-wedding scandal on her hands
after the wife of the man she was to marry stepped out and tried to stop
the wedding, Funke also had disgruntled wives to contend with. There
were many fans, friends and colleagues too, who felt she did not need to
settle with an already married man; with the attendant drama and chaos.
But, as it is in the things of love, just like Mercy, Funke went ahead
to tie the knot in what was unarguably, the most expensive, most
glamorous celebrity wedding of 2012.
‘Everyone close to them
knows the thing is not working and Funke is very unhappy. People have
been advising her. She has just been busy shooting and trying to occupy
herself. They have not even lived together since, but they are not
divorced, and it is not like it is officially officially over. Couples
separate and come back together. Even some divorced couples still
settle. So why are people talking as if this is final?’ one friend told
NET, over the weekend, insisting ‘people should mind their business or
pray for the couple’
She was happy beyond limits on her wedding
day. And the days to come were full of bliss. So were did it all go
wrong? Or was it a facade all along?
Why the marriage failed
Prior
to their high society wedding, it was widely reported that Kehinde had
several children from different women, a fact that was no mystery to
Funke. It was reported that he was married to two of the women, an
allegation that the ‘Jenifa’ star denied in an interview with a
publication.
She boasted, ‘I can tell you authoritatively that my
husband is not married to anyone else. Yes, he has beautiful children,
who are not mine and we have a cordial relationship, which dates back to
even before we got married.’
But insiders have told Nigerian
Entertainment Today that the actress would later shockingly find many
surprises along the way; even as husband and wife started to discover
there were so many things different about each of them. ‘You know when
you are in a relationship, it is always a different thing from when you
are in a marriage. Funke and Kenny have always had problems but they
have managed to conceal it from the public. I don’t know if they have
truly separated, but the marriage was becoming shakier by the day’, a
confidant who did not want to be named told us..
For months there
had been concerns that Funke’s husband was rarely seen around her at
most events she honoured. Mr Oloyede’s photos are nowhere to be found on
Funke’s Instagram page where she’s very active.
It was also
widely speculated by observers that the marriage, right from the
inception, seemed like it was destined to fail because of all the
controversies that surrounded it. From Kehinde’s many wives to many
children, and of course alleged strings of affairs, many opined it was
surely going to hit the rocks sooner or later.
Moreover, for some reason, the couple allegedly chose to live apart, an action which, sources say, did not help their bonding.
If
Funke no longer trusted her husband, then she was not alone. Many say
it is possible Almaroof became suspicious of a very busy woman,
especially withy her endorsement galore and frequent trips. But, unlike
Almaroof, it is not certain if there were confirmed instances of
infidelity on Funke’s part.
‘He can never say he caught her with
any man, or that she cheated’, one Funke friend told us. Many others
refused to comment on what is, understandably, a sensitive issue.
Whose mistake; Funke’s or Kehinde’s?
In
his Facebook message which announce to the world the crack in their
marriage, Kehinde refered to Funke as the greatest mistake he has made
in recent times. ’Am doing just fine, gettn along without u, don’t need u
anymore in ma life. u d greatest mistake av made in recent time’, he
wrote.
This assertion leaves one thinking-who made a mistake? Was it Kehinde or Funke?
Funke
had everything going for her, a budding career and a growing list of
endorsement. Many believe her first mistake was getting involved with a
man who was already married, and was rumoured to have an unquenchable
thirst for women.
Her second mistake, according to NET findings,
was assuming that once she and Kehinde were married, that he would only
have eyes for her. If for some reason, she thought she could change the
man, then that was her third mistake.
But it is apparent Almoroof
has his many goofs too, and as one pundit put it ‘they will begin to
emerge in no time. All the possible misdemeanour that could make a man
say his wife is the greatest mistake he’s ever made. He’ll begin to
speak soon. Only a matter of time’.
