Bimbo Akinsanya, a prominent Yoruba film actress, has openly shared the challenges she faced in her marriage and the emotional struggles that led to her decision to divorce. In an interview featured on Kunleafod TV’s official YouTube channel, Bimbo spoke candidly about her brief marriage, its collapse, and her journey as a single mother.
She revealed that she got married in 2014, but the marriage only lasted a year. Although the beginning of the union was filled with excitement, things quickly took a turn for the worse, ultimately leading to their separation. Bimbo admitted that ending the marriage was a difficult decision, made even more painful by the fact that she had just become a mother.
Bimbo candidly spoke about the hardships she faced during her marriage, revealing that she made the heartbreaking decision to leave when her son was just three months old.
Despite the emotional toll of walking away at such a delicate time in her child’s life, she felt it was the only viable choice. Her departure brought an end to the brief union, and she was soon thrust into the realities of single motherhood.
In the interview, Bimbo also addressed the false narratives that emerged following her divorce. She dispelled rumors suggesting she left her marriage to pursue extramarital affairs, firmly stating that such claims were completely unfounded. Bimbo explained that few people truly understood the emotional pain she endured during the relationship.
Despite the hardships, she has come to terms with her reality as a single mother. She described her journey as both challenging and fulfilling, emphasizing that her focus remains on her son’s well-being. Looking back, she has no regrets about choosing her child’s future over staying in an unhappy marriage.
According to her, “I got married in 2014, but my marriage lasted for just 1 year, and I’m now a single mom. Some people think that I left the marriage to fornicate with different men, but none of them knew about the pains that I went through in the marriage.”
