September 20, (THEWILL) – It is no longer news that Lanre Gentry, ex-husband to Nollywood actres, Mercy Aigbe, has taken a new wife. The union is his third attempt at marriage. THEWIlLL had exclusively reported this about two months ago. The hotelier, who is fond of engaging his ex-wife in one social media war or the other over issues that could have easily been resolved off social media, married his much younger wife, Busayo in a traditional ceremony that took place on Saturday, September 11, 2021, in the Abule Egba area of Lagos.
What most people do not know is that Gentry, who hasn’t stopped eulogising his new wife, had to lease out his Oregun-based Veronique hotel, allegedly, to enable him finance the wedding, take care of his new bride and revive some side hustles, one of which is his car sales business, Larrygent Motors Nig Ltd, for a constant flow of income.
Long before he met Mercy and married her, Gentry was a well known and successful businessman. While the marriage lasted, he spared no cost to ensure that the actress, her daughter from a previous marriage and their son were comfortable and well cared for.
Unfortunately, just before their marriage began to show signs of crisis, Gentry made some bad decisions that affected his business. After Mercy moved out of their home due to domestic violence, his business further declined so much that he found it difficult to shoulder his responsibilities as a father. Mercy confirmed this during their last altercation on social media. With his new marriage, one can only hope that the constant social media squabbles will come to an end and the proceeds from the alleged leased hotel will be put to judicious use.
