The sayings, "there is no smoke without fire, and rumours do not spread without some iota of truth in them" best capture the ensuing marital melodrama involving star actress, Funke Akindele and estranged husband, Kehinde Oloyede, as the actress, on Friday, July 19 confirmed the crash of their 14 months and 11 days old marriage to her teeming fans .
In a press release signed by Akindele's publicist and elder sister, Ayo Ola-Muhammed, which was made available to DailyPost, the actress's spokesperson stated thus: "On behalf of our client, star actress, Funke Akindele, we want to formally inform you that after due consultation and consideration, she is now separated from Kehinde Oloyede as his wife.
"She hereby urges her fans and all concerned to pray and wish her the best as she moves on in her career. Kindly note that this is the first and only official statement from Funke Akindele on the matter and will be glad if her wish is respected."
Sadly, the news of the couple's separation was dropped in a terse statement by Oloyede on his personal Facebook profile with the name Kehinde Almaroof-Oloyede, on Monday, July 15, and within few hours, the awful news spread like wildfire, both on print and social media.
With this development, Funke has finally joined the league of celebrities with failed marriages, a development that has become synonymous with the entertainment industry.
Indeed, they have made their ways into the hearts of millions of people, who dream to be like them. But either at home or abroad, there is one thing none of their fans will pray for —failed marriages and heartbreaks.
