Actress and media personality, Toke Makinwa, is still talking about the pains that became her life after her ex-husband impregnated another woman.

She was still under his roof, so she could not understand how it happened or had to happen.

According to her, she became a object of pity as many though she would literally tear into pieces.

During the latest episode of her YouTube vlog series, ‘Toke Moments’, she said she got devastated when she learnt the pregnancy was nine months.

The actress divorced her husband, Ayida, in 2015, although the marriage was officially dissolved in court in 2017.

Speaking about it, she fell really broken that period, but the only thing that still made sense to her to her job.

She recalled: “I think [my job] was the only thing that was certain of in my life. Everything else that was known had failed. The universe I had created had crumbled. And the only thing I was certain about was my work.

“I remember walking into the [radio] studio, and, like 7 am, the World News was on. And there is a call from the owner of the radio station, and he is like, ‘Everyone is talking about you. I don’t want to get into it but people are thinking you would literally fall apart. I think you need to go home.

“I have learned to leave my feelings at the door and then pick them up when I am on my way home. So, once I walk into the studio, it’s not about me. It’s about the millions of people who are trying to make their ways to work; they are the ones who are tuning in expecting to get entertained, informed, and on top of what is going in the world.”
