Popular Nollywood actor and film producer Segun Ogungbe has addressed rumours surrounding his personal life, clarifying that his wife and the mother of his child outside wedlock were never friends as widely reported.
Ogungbe made the clarification while speaking during a recent programme, dismissing claims that his wife, Tinuke Ogungbe, and his baby mama, Wunmi Ajiboye, shared a close relationship.
According to the actor, the story circulating on social media suggesting the two women were friends was false and originated from an individual who allegedly spread the claim out of frustration.
“My wife and my baby mama were never friends. The rumour of them being friends was a lie that was generated from social media,” he said.
Ogungbe explained that the rumour began after a female admirer who had hoped to marry him became upset upon learning that he had impregnated another woman outside wedlock.
He revealed that the admirer had previously supported him financially during the production of some of his movie projects and was disappointed by the development.
“Someone who admired me and wanted me to marry her did it. She had always been on my neck to marry her, but I said I would never get married to more than one wife,” he said.
The actor added that the woman allegedly took to social media to spread the claim that his wife and baby mama were friends, a narrative that was quickly picked up and circulated by blogs.
“It’s not true,” Ogungbe insisted, reiterating that the claim about the relationship between the two women was fabricated.
