He made this announcement in an Instagram post in the early hours of today, admitting that their marriage has been having issues for over two years.
He wrote,
“Dear Friends and family I need to let you know that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children.
“The last two years have been extremely difficult for us. I know I have tried my best to fix things but I believe it is beyond repair now.
“3 months ago and at Funkes insistence I moved out of the house and apart from AMVCA have not been able to get Funke to sit down in an amicable manner to discuss the future of our relationship.”
He continued,
“I’m making this announcement so that the public is clear that we both are pursuing separate lives.
“We still have issues that need to be addressed such as the custody and wellbeing of our children which is paramount as well as business interests which need to be disentangled but I have no doubt that these will be resolved one way or the other. Mr. Abdul Bello.”

“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.”
