Nollywood producers and former partners, Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz, were seen warmly embracing and dancing together at the premiere of their film, “She Must Be Obeyed.”
In videos captured during the event, the ex-couple appeared to be enjoying themselves at the premiere of the movie they had directed and produced before their divorce in June 2022. Upon spotting each other, they exchanged enthusiastic greetings, danced together, and engaged in a brief conversation, both wearing smiles. Their brief interaction delighted those in attendance and their fans online.
Akindele and Abdulrasheed Bello were married from 2016 to 2022. Prior to their separation, they were a closely-knit couple often seen publicly expressing their affection. They welcomed twin boys in 2018, who had been kept out of the public eye until their marriage began to face challenges.
Both Bello and Akindele had previously been married and separated before finding each other. Bello had a son named Benito from his previous marriage, and it was Benito who took to social media to reveal the cracks in Akindele’s marriage to his father, which caused a public uproar.
Following initial damage control efforts from both sides, Bello later announced the end of their marriage via his Instagram account. He mentioned that there had been ongoing issues in their marriage and that they had been separated for three months before the eventual divorce.
Despite their marriage coming to an end, it appears that the two have maintained a positive relationship. They began following each other again on Instagram, and Bello personally expressed his condolences to Akindele after she announced the passing of her mother in February 2023.
The ex-couple seems to be focused on co-parenting their sons, demonstrating that an amicable relationship is possible following a divorce.
