Not a few were aware that popular Yoruba actor, Femi Adebayo, who found
widespread recognition after the release of his 2014 hit movie, Jelili, had been
separated from his first wife, Khadijat, for eight years.
In fact, the revelation came to the fore in the early hours of Saturday when
the news of planned hush-hush wedding of Femi, first son of veteran Yoruba
actor, Adebayo Salami aka Oga Bello, broke on social media.
The soft-spoken actor will tie the knot with his US-based partner, a
businesswoman is simply known as Maimunat, today October 9.
Sources close to the actor, who is the Special Adviser To the Kwara State
Governor on Culture and Tourism, say his first marriage failed due to alleged
philandering habits.
A renowned Nigerian crossover actress who got married to her musician beau in
London in August was fingered as one of the women in the actor’s life at the
time.
However both parties vehemently denied the allegations.
Reacting to the allegations, Femi said in an interview that Khadijat divorced
him because she didn’t support his acting career and he would not be getting
married to a second wife but to a ‘brand new wife soon.’
Meanwhile, Khadijat, his first wife and mother of his three children, has
since remarried. She is now addressed as Mrs. Balogun and has a child with her
new husband.
Femi and Maimunat will receive parental blessings to be man and wife at a
Nikkah ceremony that will be held on Sunday, October 9, in a secret location in
Maryland, Lagos. Happy Married Live
