Following the heartbreaking marriage crash of Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele popularly known as Jenifa from her husband, JJC Skillz, an old clip of the comic actress speaking about the crash of her first marriage has surfaced on social media.
The actress in an interview with Chude Jideonwo, regarding her first marriage, disclosed that she did not let the crash of her first marriage break her.
According to the mother of two, she just wanted to get married, and do things right and have children, but it didn’t work out well as it ended in a very bad way.
She further pointed out that bad times will also come, but humans should allow themselves to navigate through it and not let it swallow them up.
The second husband to the comic actress confirmed their separation in a post via his Instagram handle on Thursday morning.
According to him, he tried to ensure things didn’t get to this stage but it eventually did.
He wrote: “Dear Friends and family I need to let you know that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children. The last two years have been extremely difficult for us. I know I have tried my best to fix things but I believe it is beyond repair now. 3 months ago and at Funkes insistence I moved out of the house and apart from AMVCA have not been able to get Funke to sit down in an amicable manner to discuss the future of our relationship.
“I’m making this announcement so that the public is clear that we both are pursuing separate lives. We still have issues that need to be addressed such as the custody and wellbeing of our children which is paramount as well as business interests which need to be disentangled but I have no doubt that these will be resolved one way or the other.”
