Nigerian comedian, actor, and filmmaker Ayo Makun, better known as AY, has announced the end of his about 20-year marriage to wife Mabel Makun.
In a recent social media post, AY acknowledged that his long-standing marriage has hit the rocks, stating: "It is one thing to watch my marriage of 20 years slip off my hands." He further added, "Many people believe that staying silent simply means that one is incapable of dealing with issues."
Accusations of infidelity have reportedly plagued the couple's relationship. According to the anonymous gossip blog Gistlover, AY's constant cheating with various women, including former Big Brother Naija contestants and Lekki girls, has caused his wife Mabel to contract infections on multiple occasions.
According to the blog, Mabel previously caught AY with these other women, resulting in a temporary separation, but the couple later reconciled. However, the marriage is said to have deteriorated after AY lost his Lagos mansion in a fire outbreak.
Gistlover claims that during this difficult time, Mabel used her own money to support the family, but instead of sticking by his wife, AY pursued other women. This allegedly resulted in a heated argument in which AY physically assaulted Mabel, prompting her to leave again.
While family members work to reconcile the couple, Gistlover reports that Mabel has since been seen with a younger man in Ikoyi, implying that she may have moved on. In his recent Instagram post, AY acknowledged his wrongdoings, stating, "Yes! I have found myself doing some things that I am not proud of today." He also defended his actions, arguing that "no one is completely innocent enough to cast stones." The couple's separation has saddened their fans and well-wishers, as they were regarded as one of Nollywood's most stable and long-term marriages.
