Kayode Salako, husband of actress Foluke Daramola, has said that the trauma of the recent rumour that their marriage crashed cost the wife a pregnancy.
Salako said the situation was so critical that the actress could have committed suicide.
In an interview with Saturday Punch, he said their marriage was intact and that the story of Foluke chasing his first wife away was false.
He added (stet), “Some of them are sympathetic to the plight of my first wife. They feel she was unjustly sent out of the marriage by Foluke. But Foluke did not have a hand in it. No woman from outside can cause the break-up of my marriage if my wife did not leave herself. My first wife, for whatever reason, left the marriage and immediately she left, I got the spiritual conviction that I should continue my life with another woman. And that is the woman I am with now. Even if I leave Foluke Daramola today, I wouldn’t go back to my first wife. My father told me before he died that I shouldn’t go back to my former wife; that’s the tradition in our family. Once a woman, of her own volition, packs her things out of the house, she wouldn’t be allowed to come to the family again.
“I always tell Foluke too that she may get annoyed and fight me but once she packs out of the house, there would be no coming back. A lot of people don’t know that me and Foluke are uniquely and peculiarly bonded. So, it is only the two of us that can announce the break-up of our marriage. No external person is authorised to announce the dissolution of our marriage to the public. Me and Foluke are the only ones that can do that. The person who wrote the story is not a professional journalist. When he heard the story, he should have reached out to me to confirm, just like you’ve done.”
