Legit.ng earlier reported that Wumi Toriola took a surprising turn after her public spat with actor and producer Afeez Owo, who is married to fellow actress Mide Martins.
The Yoruba movie actress admitted she had reflected on her outburst and was ready to move forward in peace.
The drama began after Afeez Owo described Wumi in an interview as someone who only reacts when provoked but doesn’t tolerate disrespect.
Wumi responded with a heavy clapback.
She called Afeez an elderly man who needed to stop unnecessary drama, though she noted that she still respected him despite his unfortunate behaviours.
Her reaction didn’t sit well with many fans, who quickly reminded her about the importance of respecting elders in the industry.
After being heavily called out online, Wumi seemed to soften her stance.
Taking to Instagram, she shared a video of herself inside a plane with a caption that left fans talking.
She wrote:
“The face of a repentant child. It is still all love. Thank you all for the backlash. Omo ta ba fe lan bawi.”

Instead, she expressed a firm desire to have more children with her ex-husband, with whom she already shares a son.
Toriola explained during an exclusive interview with TVC News, that their separation had not severed their connection, as they had built a solid co-parenting relationship that worked seamlessly for their family.
This arrangement, she noted, allowed them to focus on raising their child while keeping the door open for future siblings.
Her candidness about prioritising family expansion over societal expectations of remarriage sparked widespread conversations across Nigerian social media platforms, with many praising her boldness and others questioning her choice.
Toriola further elaborated that her ex-husband remained a significant part of her life, not out of romantic attachment but due to their shared goals for their child’s upbringing.
She described their communication as open and respectful, a foundation that made her confident in planning more children together. The actress stressed that her decision was deliberate, rooted in what she believed was best for her family’s future.
This revelation came as a shock to many who assumed Toriola, a prominent figure in Nollywood, would be eager to settle into a new marriage. Instead, she stood firm in her resolve, showcasing a modern approach to family dynamics that challenged traditional Nigerian norms around marriage and divorce.
