Nollywood star Bimpe Akintunde has publicly confirmed that her marriage to Ganiyu has ended. The actress and producer broke the news via her Instagram page on Friday.
In a heartfelt post, she wrote: “Some chapters close without fanfare, but they pave the way for a more resilient and beautiful tale. I never planned to share this, but life teaches us humility in unexpected moments. After much prayer, deep thought, and honest talks with myself and family, I decided to speak my truth. I once shared my joy, and now I owe it to myself to share my reality. Before my second child from my first marriage arrived—a union that lasted under three years—life took a different path. It wasn’t easy; it came with lessons, pain, strength, and growth. Yet I held onto my faith in God, the Author of my story, and I now walk with grace, choosing peace, healing, and purpose for myself and my children. Today, I am not broken but rebuilt. Not defeated but refined—a stronger woman, a loving mother, and a soul full of hope. Behind every smile is a story. Today, I choose to hint at mine: I AM SINGLE. To all who loved, prayed, supported, and stood by me—thank you. You mean more than words can say to me and my beautiful daughters. May Almighty Allah continue to guide and strengthen us. Welcome to my birth month—a season of reflection, gratitude, and new beginnings.”
The announcement has since garnered widespread reactions from fans and colleagues, who have offered messages of support. Akintunde, known for her roles in Yoruba-language films, has not provided further details about the separation.
