Nigerian singer Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz, has announced his separation from Funke Akindele, Nollywood actress.
The singer made this announcement in an Instagram post on Thursday morning, admitting that their marriage has been having issues for over two years.
Bello confirmed that Akindele had asked him to leave her residence and refused to discuss the relationship with him.
He said while they “shared a lot of things together”, their marriage was beyond repair even if he has tried to “fix things”, and is now seeking ways for them to co-parent and manage their joint business.
Speculations that the couple’s marriage was on the rocks hit the media in April.
At the time JJC Skillz took to Instagram to debunk the rumors, sharing a photo of the couple and their kids, which he captioned” “The only rock that stays steady and the only institution I know that works is marriage.”
“London is cool, but I’m missing home @funkejenifaakindele my love have loads of fun with the children. See you soon at home.”
On Father’s Day, the “Jenifa” actress shared photographs JJC took with his children with the caption, “Happy Father’s Day darling!!! Thank you so much for being a wonderful and caring father. We love you God bless you more Baba Ibeji of life!”
The couple married in May 2016.
