August 15, (THEWILL) – The curtain may have fallen on the marriage of Tolu and her ex-husband, film producer and director, Kunle Afolayan, but she is not allowing that sad incident to hold her back from forging ahead in life. Not only does she now have a thriving jewelry business, the mother of Kunle’s three children is now in another relationship with a very successful man who dotes on her in a way that Kunle never did.
Tolu also went back to school and bagged a certificate from Lagos Business School. The leggy beauty recently clocked 40 and she chose to have a quiet celebration with her new love interest, close friends and family. While her marriage to Kunle lasted, it was characterised with suspicion and distrust. The former couple became hostile companions under the same roof. Friends and family tried in futility to salvage the troubled union.
Kunle’s alleged infidelity was one of the major reasons the marriage collapsed irretrievably. His alleged waywardness was said to be so legendary that he was perennially accused of chasing women of different shapes and shades. He reportedly had no boundaries and was alleged to be at home with single women as much as with married women and widows. Tolu’s endurance level became stretched to its limit when she came to the full realisation that there was no salvaging her husband. She simply packed her bags and left her matrimonial home for good. Those in the know claim Kunle and Tolu’s marriage was one of convenience as Kunle was never in love with Tolu. According to these sources, Kunle was done with the union long ago but stayed in it because of their children who needed their mother’s care and attention on occasions when Kunle was not around.
