July 20, (THEWILL) – Six years ago when Nollywood actress Motilola Adekunle came after naysayers for insinuating that her marriage was troubled, many people blamed rumour mongers for speaking ill of the actress and wishing her bad luck in her marriage. But then she shocked her fans about two weeks ago when she publicly announced that it was over between her and her handsome husband, Adekunle, who is an Air Force officer. Motilola confessed she was overwhelmed by the fact that she couldn’t save her marriage and felt odd to announce its collapse publicly. She said that she decided to part ways with her husband of 10 years because the marriage didn’t work out and announced that she would be co-parenting her children alongside her estranged husband. The actress has since removed her husband’s name from her social media handles. It was rumoured that her marriage ran into troubled waters after a report claimed she could no longer get along with her mother-in-law who was described as a troublesome woman.
Adekunle’s mum, it was gathered, always complained of Motilola’s expensive lifestyle and how her son could no longer afford to keep funding it. Motilola reportedly moved out of her matrimonial home after her husband got transferred to the North. She has been spotted at different events and occasions without her wedding band. It is also alleged that Adekunle made frantic efforts to save their marriage and did all he could to satisfy both his wife and his mother, but in vain.
Motilola came into the limelight through her role in Bashorun Gaa a movie from the stables of late veteran producer and playwright, Adebayo Faleti. She also played the role of Bimpe in the soap opera Share of the Sun a pet project of Mrs Segun Agagu, wife of former Ondo state Governor, late Olusegun Agagu and also acted as Ada in the series Valley Between. She has also played notable roles in different movies.
