However, after the news made the round, it elicited mixed reactions, while some netizens suggested the woman was barren for 24 years, others assumed the actor just met his wife after searching for such a long time.

He further explained that he was married twice but “lost 2 precious women to the cold hands of death over time”
Speaking via his social media page, he said, “I waited for 24 years and not my wife Oladunni: my testimony about 24 years of waiting has been misunderstood in certain quarters..
“The testimony was about me and not the woman I married. I first got married on the 5th of June 1999 and lost 2 precious women to the cold hands of death over time.
“I married Adeola Doyin-Hassan in June 1999 and lost her 8.5 years after (February 20 2008 on her birthday).
“I waited for 2 years before I remarried Bolanle Doyin-Hassan in April 2010. Bolanle passed in December 2020 and I waited 1 year 7 months before I remarried in October 2022.
“My new wife was not barren for 24 years. I was the one who shared a testimony of my tears and toils for 24 years. Meeting Oladunni was God’s redirection of my divine journey.”
