September 05, (THEWILL) – They may have gone their separate ways, but if there is one thing they both have going for them, it is that they have both made satisfactory progress in their various careers without letting the failure of their marriage hold them down. While Funke Akindele-Bello is now a married mother of two, an accomplished actress, a movie producer, with several cinema blockbusters under her belt, her ex-husband, Alhaji Otunba Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof, is now the chairman of Oshodi/Isolo Local Government Council. All thanks to his doggedness and the influence of his late mother, Alhaja Taiwo Adiatu Almaroof, a former ‘Iyaoloja’ of Oshodi.
While they do not officially see eye to eye due to the manner their relationship ended, they however have a mutual friend in the person of the chairman of the Lagos chapter of the National Union of Road Transport Worker, Musiliu Akinsanya, otherwise known as MC Oluomo, who keeps both of them up to date with the events in their lives.
Funke joined Kehinde’s harem formally in a lavish, star studded Nikkai, engagement ceremony and wedding reception, all of which took place at The Balmoral Events Centre, Ikeja GRA, Lagos, in May 2012. The couple separated one year and 46 days later. Funke got news of her separation on social media while at a movie location. Kehinde, unable to tell her to her face that he was done with the marriage, chose to inform the world via his Facebook page.
