August 23, (THEWILL) – Popular Nollywood actress, Funke Akindele, has opened up on why she married her first husband, Adeola Kehinde Oloyede.
Akindele made this revelation during an Interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, saying that the only reason why she wanted to share that part of her life is to encourage ladies not to rush into marriage.
The actress also urged the ones that feel bad and are pressured to get married to calm down.
She said: “I don’t want to drag anybody. I’ll talk about myself. I just wanted to get married: Children, pressure and all that.
“The marriage ended in a bad way. I was filming when someone called and told me. I wanted to die. I cried and lost a lot of deals.
“I survived that period by channelling my pain into work. I was collecting every script from the East and acting.
“I rushed into the marriage out of pressure and it didn’t end well.”
THEWILL recalls that Funke and Kehinde got married on May 26, 2012, but divorced in July 2013 due to irreconcilable differences.
In May 2016 she married Nigerian rapper JJC Skillz in London.
