Funke Akindele and JJC

The wedding of this charming couple took place in August 2016. The private ceremony took place in London. In spite of the fact that both newlyweds are public persons, they did not want to be in the spotlight by putting their personal lives on public display. They were very discreet in their plans.

The public learned about their relationship at the beginning of the same year. In the past, the actress was not really a big fan of talking about her personal life, but this happy development made her open herself to the world.

She shared a Snapchat photo where she and her beau were in bed in their pajamas. Prior to this, the couple appeared at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards. Their relationship and marriage seems quite sudden, perhaps because they did not broadcast it as much.

In February 2016, there were rumours that the musician proposed and the actress agreed. Before she met JJC Skillz, there were two other men with whom she had serious relationships with: actor Femi Adebayo and her first husband Kehinde Oloyede.

She got married to Oloyede in 2012. The union was unsuccessful because in 2013 they parted. Let's hope that the marriage with JJC will be more reliable and happy.

There was gossip that before the current relationship JJC dated Kate Henshaw. But this is already in the past.

JJC is not at all an inexperienced boy when it comes to love. In his 40 years of life, he has managed to have children with three different women. He continues to support them and he communicates regularly with his baby mamas.

JJC's children approve of his new wife. They see that their father is happy with this woman and she has been seen with them a few times. The musician's children did not know that Funke is an actress since they did not watch Nigerian films in the UK. But they immediately fell in love with her.

According to JJC, his daughter encouraged him to marry Funke, insisting that she was a keeper. He followed her advice and has not since regretted his choice. The producer wrote a beautiful song "Save The Last Dance" for his wife and many agreed that it was a sweet and romantic gesture.

The famous husband and wife live in a luxury house in Lekki (Lagos), the cost of which is estimated at several millions in Naira. Many celebrities were invited to the housewarming party. There are many other gorgeous houses, owned by show business stars and businessmen in this neighbourhood.

In June this year, it was rumoured that the happy couple is awaiting the birth of twins. Funke and her husband had previously participated in the Hallelujah Challenge and turned to God with a prayer for children. A recent video of the actress which featured her sporting a cute little baby bump has intensified the rumours that she is expecting despite the fact that her husband had once denied this.
