Nollywood actress and film producer, Bimpe Akintunde has confirmed the dissolution of her marriage to her husband, Ganiyu. Taking to her Instagram account on Friday, the screen star shared the personal news with her followers, citing a period of deep reflection and a desire for transparency.
In a heartfelt post, Akintunde explained that while she hadn’t planned on making such a public disclosure, her journey has led her to a place of “peace, healing, and purpose.”
The actress shared her reality in a lengthy statement, noting that she felt it was necessary to be honest with those who had previously shared in her joy.
“Honest Announcement !!!! Some chapters end quietly… but they prepare you for a stronger, more beautiful story ahead. This isn’t something I imagined sharing publicly, but life humbles, teaches, and reshapes us in unexpected ways.”
Akintunde reflected on her personal growth and the challenges she faced, particularly referencing the timeline of her past relationships and her commitment to her children.
“After deep reflection, prayers, and honest conversations with myself and my family, I’ve chosen to speak my truth because I once shared my happiness, and I owe it to myself to share my reality too. Before the arrival of my second child from my first marriage, which lasted less than three years, life took a different turn. It wasn’t easy it came with lessons, tears, strength, and growth. But through it all, I held on to my faith in God, the Author of my journey, and I’ve embraced my path with grace choosing peace, healing, and purpose for myself and my children.”
Despite the split, the producer emphasized that she feels “rebuilt” rather than defeated. She used the post to officially declare her current relationship status while expressing gratitude to her support system.
“Today, I stand not broken, but rebuilt. Not defeated, but refined; a stronger woman, a loving mother, and a soul still full of hope. Behind every smile is a story. Today, I choose to hint mine: I AM SINGLE. To everyone who has loved, prayed, supported, and stood by me thank you. It means more than words can express to me and my beautiful daughters. May Almighty Allah continue to guide and strengthen us all. Oluwa a duro ti gbogbo wa ni gbogbo ona o.”
Coinciding with the start of her birth month, Akintunde viewed the announcement as a milestone for a fresh start.
“It’s my birth month, a season of reflection, gratitude, and new beginnings. Welcome to my birth month fam mii.”
