JJC Skillz, ex-husband of actress Funke Akindele, took to his Instagram on Wednesday to celebrate her as she marked her birthday.
He shared a compilation video of Funke Akindele and wrote, “Happy birthday my darling mama ibeji 🎂@funkejenifaakindele I pray our children to embody the goodness of God and be a blessing to generations. Today is your day to celebrate and live to the fullest. Long life and prosperity.”
In late June 2022, viral reports suggested that Funke’s marriage with JJC had hit the rock.
JJC, who had in April denied reports of his marriage crisis, confirmed the development in a post on his Instagram on Thursday, June 30.
He said the last two years had been extremely difficult for them.
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 and have created two 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. Three months ago and at Funke’s insistence, I moved out of the house and apart from AMVCA I have not been able to get Funke to sit down amicably to discuss the future of our relationship.
“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.”
Despite being divorced, it appears they still have a good relationship and wish each other well.
