many of her fans know that Lanre Gentry was married to another
Nollywood actress, Bimbo Akinsanya before Mercy Aigbe got pregnant for
him.
SPY NIGERIA reports that Mercy
Aigbe-Gentry who was recently battered by Lanre Gentry, was married to
an Igbo man and had a beautiful daughter for him, but the union couldn’t
stand the test of time as it crashed few years later.
Mercy was tagged a husband snatcher after she got pregnant for Lanre Gentry who was then married to Bimbo Akinsanya.
Mercy
and Lanre officially tied the knots at the Ikoyi Registry in 2013 but
have been living together as man and wife before then.
In 2011 Mercy Aigbe said in an interview…
“THERE
IS NO PROBLEM BECAUSE MY LYALE (FIRST WIFE) BIMBO AKINSANYA DOESN’T
EVEN LIVE IN NIGERIA. SHE LIVES IN THE US WITH HER KIDS, AND SHE HARDLY
COMES AROUND. IN NIGERIA, I’M THE ONLY WIFE AND SHE IS LIKE A SENIOR
AUNTY TO ME. IT IS PEOPLE OUTSIDE THAT CREATE PROBLEM, WHEN THERE IS NO
PROBLEM. SHE HAS LIVED ABROAD ALL HER LIFE; SHE HARDLY COMES HOME. SHE
IS EVEN HAPPY I’M MARRIED TO HER HUSBAND. SHE IS LIKE A BIG AUNTY WE
TALK ALL THE TIME” (WWW.NAIJAN.COM)
After being robbed
of her marriage, by a fellow actress, Bimbo Akinsanya decided to move on
with her life and let Mercy Aigbe enjoy the same man that used to be
her loving husband.
Bimbo later remarried a few years later. To
double her blessing, the script interpreter welcomed her first child
with the new hubby, Ayoola Adewale, in June 2015; few months after her
wedding.
