August 18, (THEWILL) – Hopefully in about a month’s time, the media space would take a breather from the constant diatribe between actress and entrepreneur, Mercy Aigbe and her estranged husband, Lanre Gentry, as the hotelier plans to return to the married men’s club next month. The lucky lady, Busayo whom he will be tying the knot with is only 24 years old.
Despite the huge age gap between them, they seem to be in love as could be depicted from a video Gentry posted on social media a week ago showing off his soon-to-be wife, while the young lady couldn’t help but gush about how lucky she is to have him all to herself, and even referring to him as her property. Since his separation from Mercy Aigbe in 2017, over allegations of infidelity and domestic violence, the estranged couple created a pattern whereby on each Father’s Day, they would both come on social media to rain insults on each other. Their bone of contention is usually who caters for her two children.
While Mercy, as is her custom would post a cryptic message on Father’s Day and throw subtle shade at her estranged husband, insisting that she is solely responsible for taking care of the bills of her two children, one of who is a product of her union with him, Gentry rather than let the shade slide, would in turn post his own direct message at her, insisting that he is the one responsible for the upkeep of her two children including her first daughter from her first marriage. Gentry would then go on to slut shame her and slam her for living a fake life. To crown it all, Mercy revealed that she is yet to be divorced from him as he has refused to accept the divorce papers, not to mention signing them and he also refused to appear in court for divorce proceedings. Perhaps before the wedding between him and Busayo happens, he may finally sign the divorce papers and the constant mudslinging would finally stop.
