In a revelation that has rocked the Nigerian entertainment scene, Mabel Makun, the wife of popular comedian AY Makun, has confirmed the swirling rumors surrounding their divorce.
After two decades of marriage, the couple has decided to part ways amidst swirling rumors of infidelity and allegations of extramarital pregnancies, marking the end of their long-standing union.
Addressing the speculation head-on, Mabel took to Instagram to share her truth and express gratitude for the outpouring of support she has received during this challenging time.
In her heartfelt announcement, Mabel emphasized the importance of maintaining dignity and privacy, particularly for the sake of their children, whose wellbeing remains paramount amidst the upheaval.
Despite the onslaught of rumors and attacks on social media, Mabel has chosen to refrain from engaging, opting instead to honor her children and the years shared with AY through her silence. “Many falsehoods have been spread about me, and I have faced unwarranted attacks on social media. Yet, I choose to preserve the dignity of my children and our shared history by remaining silent,” she affirmed.
On her Instagram page, Mabel wrote:
I want to express my sincere gratitude for the supportive messages that I have received from everyone.
However, my silence should not be misunderstood and also the father of my children whom I have been with for some years deserves a certain level respect and privacy from me and all the concerned parties. Most importantly because of our children whose mental health and general well being should be prioritized.
Many lies have been peddled against me and attack orchestrated on the social media space but I will honour my kids with my silence and not address any of these lies.
Although my dreams of a lifelong marriage has taken a different direction now, I’m committed to moving forward with grace and resilience. I have faith in a brighter future for both myself and the children. Despite the rumors or opinions, I find comfort in the belief that all will be well.
While it’s unexpected for things to end this way, I quietly ask for guidance from my faith as I step into this new chapter of life. Also as we navigate this change,I ask for your help in creating an atmosphere of respect and understanding. This is a challenging period, and I ask for privacy and consideration as we (my ex-husband and I) find our own path forward.
I wish him the very best in his journey as well.
God bless us all,
Mabel
