Who Was Funke Akindele First Husband?

In 2012 amidst several oppositions Funke Akindele got married to her first husband Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede Almaroof popularly called Kenny Doo. He is a Politician and Businessman who resides in Lagos State. Alhaji Kehinde is said to have been a member of the Peoples Democratic Party as of 2007 under which he contested for a few political offices and lost to others.

The marriage sparked comments and criticism amongst fans for two major reasons one of which was the fact that Kenny was already married traditionally to another woman, the second was the difference in religion between both parties as Funke, a Christian lady whose mother was reportedly a pastor was set to marry Kehinde Oloyede a Muslim man, in a Muslim wedding ceremony. There were also rumors of her conversion to Islam and adopting a Muslim name.

The wedding ceremony was a grand affair and a lot of money was sunk into it. However, barely a year later, the marriage crashed and an official statement was issued to that effect amidst several speculations which arose, as a result of Kehinde Oloyede publicly making an announcement which hinted the end of his marriage to Funke via social media.

Shortly after her wedding to Alhaji Kehinde Oloyede, rumors surfaced about her husband’s flirtatious ways. He was accused of having several children by different women and had another on the way as a woman named Modinat Nike Dada was believed to have been seven months pregnant with his child.

Funke later came out to admit that her first marriage was not what she thought it would be as she was emotionally and verbally abused almost for the beginning. She also revealed how things changed for the worse two months into the marriage because of Kehinde’s philandering ways and how she constantly endured humiliation from him on countless occasions.

Several other disturbing facts also turned up about his education and his character. Some individuals were of the opinion that Kehinde Oloyede simply used Funke Akindele to further his political career. Following so much drama and unpleasant surprises the marriage between these two came to an end and both went their separate ways.
