Marriage comes with its challenges and like it is often said, this is the only institution you receive a certificate on entry and you never get to graduate from.
However, with the number of divorcees especially in the entertainment industry one would have a re-think about the above saying.
We’ve seen a good number of celebrities who tied the knot in grand style end up separating or divorcing their partners.
We’ve also see some who still remain faithful to their partner till date.What could be the course? Why so much divorce issues in the entertainment industry? Why do we see our faves breaking up?
Same people who mesmerize their fans and keep them gushing about their personality. These are the same people we see talk about how their marriage is no longer working or hasn’t been working for a long time.
Is there more to this? Or is it just part of the challenges of life?
In a recent development, popular Nigerian actor and comedian, Ayo Makun, aka AY, has confirmed that his marriage to his wife, Mabel, is slipping off his hands .
The comedian lifted the lid on the disagreement between him and his wife Mabel in a social media post on Sunday.
Recent speculations suggested discord in their relationship, fueled by claims of infidelity and separation.
In an Instagram post on Sunday, AY seemed to acknowledge these rumors, admitting to actions he’s not proud of.
He said he had reached a stage where he could no longer entertain the public with “deep personal family issues.”However, he cautioned against assumptions, noting that strength and weakness are not defined by public displays.
AY wrote, “Many people believe that staying silent simply means that one is incapable of dealing with issues. Projecting a negative narrative against someone who is not struggling to defend himself doesn’t mean he is weak.
“Some of us are just logical enough to understand the difference between opinions, values, beliefs, and facts.
“The personality and ability that I possess simply confirm that i have reached that stage in my life where I can not be entertaining the public with deep personal family issues. They just might be too much to handle concerning the individuals involved.
“Not even when I have a grown-up daughter who has access to social media. Her mental health needs to be protected from seeing things she can not be proud of online.
“Yes! Without compromising my family, I have found myself doing some things that I am not proud of today. It is one thing to watch my friendship/marriage of 20 years slip off my hands, but it’s another thing for the parties involved to understand how to appropriate the blame in a space that is designed for most women to always play the victims and win. I can tell you for free that no one is completely innocent enough to cast stones.
“Presently, I am loving the way that lies about me in all these blogs are travelling faster than the truth. But my painful truth will eventually beat away all the lies.”
Reacting in a different post his estranged wife posted a video on her Instagram page noting that distance is her response to disrespect. Adding that she does not involve herself in drama, nor does she respond to it. Rather, she takes herself off the situation.
Meanwhile, the Comedian and the wife who is , an interior decor expert have been married for 20 years and the union is blessed with two adorable daughters.
