The actor, who has been married to Mide since 2003, revealed during an interview on the Behind The Fame podcast that their 2016 separation was blown out of proportion because of social media.

Mide is the daughter of late veteran actress Funmi Martins, who passed away in 2002. Shortly after her death, Afeez, who was Funmi’s manager at the time, married Mide in 2003.

Back then, fans were surprised when Mide Martins confirmed online that her husband had walked out of their matrimonial home “after a minor argument over the well-being of his children.”

“I planned 2 nights out,” Afeez confesses

According to Afeez, the misunderstanding that almost ended their marriage was their very first fight as a couple.

He explained that in anger, he left home with the intention of cooling off for two nights in a hotel. But things escalated after Mide’s online post.

His words:

“Although, my intention was to spend two nights at a hotel and return home, but after she accused me of leaving the house, I decided to stay away for more days. The news of our separation went viral, and the matter got bigger than it really was.”
