Renowned Nollywood actor, Fatai Adekunle Adebayo, popularly known as Lalude, has left many bemused with his subtle revelation of finding love once more.

The celebrated Babalawo actor, who is in a committed marriage and is a father, hinted at facing a marital challenge with his wife as he proudly introduced his new partner.

Taking to his Instagram page, the veteran actor expressed that this marks a fresh phase in his life. For those curious about his personal life, he made it clear that he and his wife are in good terms. He emphasized that life is full of twists and turns, urging the public to honor his choices and wishes.

“This marks a new chapter, irrespective of the circumstances. My wife and I are on good terms! Life takes unexpected turns. I value the cherished and beautiful memories!”

Further fueling speculations about the new relationship, the veteran actor spent the festive season with his new partner rather than with his wife and children.

Sharing images of themselves donning coordinating outfits, he extended Christmas greetings to his followers.

“From my wife and me, wishing you all a cheerful Christmas and a prosperous New Year filled with love, joy, and cherished memories”.

Responding in his comment section, many used his love story as a reference point for their own experiences, while others expressed disbelief over the news.

Kayodefire, implying it was a movie shoot, commented, “Title of the movie, Sir.”

Quingz wrote, “Congratulations, may she never entertain thoughts of infidelity.”

Sohibu Misbaha wrote, “Who am I to question your decision? People are questioning Lalude’s decision!!!”

D2 Bam Ratty wrote, “This is unexpected, what could this be? Lalude also knows how to show affection.”

Official Vickyy wrote, “And I am still entering another year as a single person.”

Stack Chyna wrote, “I thought he was married with twins.”

Girlie Vi wrote, “A Babalawo has found love. Lord, am I a mere onlooker?”

Harder Omokhe wrote, “Why is she concealing herself, though?”

Presh Nickie wrote, “Sir has found love. God, I see what you’re doing for others!”

Viktoh Gram wrote, “Even a Babalawo has fallen in love deeply.”

Many found this surprising as just a month ago, his wife celebrated his 60th birthday, expressing her eternal love for him and sharing an endearing photo of him. She went on to describe him as her hero and the source of her joy.

Also embarking on a quest for love this year is Laide Bakare, poised to give marriage another chance despite two previous failed marriages.

A while back, it seemed as though Laide had found love anew after posting an affectionate video of herself with a mystery man who wore a wedding ring, indicating that he was married.

The mother of three subsequently introduced him on her Instagram page, extolling the virtues of love, describing it as a beautiful phenomenon, and advising her fans to summon the courage to embrace love once more.

Surprisingly, many joined in celebrating her decision to give marriage another try, while a few criticized her.

Furthermore, Oluwakemisola Ariyo Apesin, popularly known as Kemity, is concluding the year with an engagement ring.

The Yoruba star shared a video of herself flaunting her engagement ring as she announced her exit from the singles’ club, affirming that she had said yes to her beloved and promising to share more details about the engagement.

A colleague of hers shared the proposal video, capturing Kemity’s stunned reaction to the heartfelt gesture from her partner. The lovebirds were seen standing beside their Christmas tree in matching Christmas pajamas when her partner popped the question.
