The award winning actress further noted that her priority is to live an impactful life and cater for her children and siblings.
Speaking during the chat, Funke Akindele said: “If you ask me now can you tell me one failure, I don’t see it as a failure. My personal life – marriage, I just take it as it comes. My mental health is very important. My career is very important, darling.
“I have to make an impact. I have to empower a lot of people. I have to inspire young people out there. I have to stay strong for my children and my siblings. Why am I living? I have a purpose, so my head is up. Yes I cry, yes I break down, but after I cry, I just look in the mirror and say, ‘keep moving.'”
Funke Akindele married Adeola Kehinde Oloyede in 2012 but the couple divorced in 2013, citing irreconcilable differences.
She then walked down the aisle with Nigerian rapper, Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz in London in 2016 and the marriage produced a set of twins.
However, the relationship once again broke down in 2022 and the two celebrities went their separate ways.
