Nollywood screen goddess and one of the most highly rated Nigerian star
actress, Funke Akindele knows she might have to set the records straight
sooner or later. "My huband has never been married," she insists in
response to much of the hearsay about her marriage to Almaroof.
"I
am the woman he got married to. I was married properly. A lot of
negative comments came from sadists who want to run their mouths. So
because I am a Youth Ambassador or Celebrity, I can't have my life?" she
asks rhetorically.
It is my life. If I do things because people
want me to, I will end up unhappy. I do what I do because I want to be
happy. I would still continue to teach morals and campaign against
HIV/AIDS and enlighten the youths. It doesn't make me bad; that is even
if it is, because I can tell you authoritatively that my husband is not
married to anyone else.
Yes, he has beautiful children, who are
not mine now and we have a cordial relationship, which dates back to
even before we got married. 'So what if he has kids? Is that a disease?
That is where my heart is! I had many non-biological children even
before I got married. I take them as my own children, pay their bills
and help them. I have always loved children. So now that God has given
me these ones, what should I do?
Will people be happier if I had
married someone who didn't have children, seem so perfect, put on my
make-p and fake smile on the red carpet and start weeping when I get
home?' She queries a deadpan ton.
And about my in-laws, they are very wonderful and supportive and my parents and siblings as well.
