Adebayo has been single for seven years, I lost my first marriage seven years
ago and I felt this is the real time to say I am ready for another marriage. It
is not as if I have gotten a date or venue for the marriage like the way it

Speaking on why he’s kept mum on the crashed marriage for this
long, he said: ‘Well, I have a right to my privacy and if I have issues with my
wife, it is not ideal to go public to broadcast it. There are several marriages
either from celebrities or not that have gone down the drain. So, mine is not
an exception and marriage is a contract which you can breach anytime if one
party is no longer comfortable with the condition of the contract. ‘I see it as
a personal problem that I have been managing for long and I see no reason why I
should go around to talk about it in public that my marriage had issues.
Inasmuch as I am a celebrity, people will be interested in knowing many things
about me, I don’t believe I should make it a public issue that my marriage is
unsettled and that was why I kept it to myself.’

Femi further added that his
ex-wife sought for divorce after two years of marriage. In his words: ‘After
about 2 years of separation, I think she couldn’t take it any longer, she filed
the divorce about 4 years ago. She filed it at an area court in Ilorin where
the marriage was celebrated. The marriage was dissolved and we had agreement on
how to take care of the babies, how to have access to them and all that. She
has the custody of the children and that is that. Under the principle of Islam
which our marriage was celebrated, she should have the custody of the
children.’

The actor insists Funke Akindele had nothing to do with his failed
marriage, saying, ‘Funke had nothing to do with the marriage crash, the major
reason my marriage broke-up was the fact that my baby mother does not really
like my profession. Funke absolutely has nothing to do with this marriage
problems. And I want people to get this clear.’…
