Mabel Makun, the estranged wife of popular comedian Ayo Makum, has released a statement asking for privacy and consideration from the public following their separation.
This comes days after the comedian went online to reveal that their friendship and marriage of 20 years is slipping from his grasp and confirmed that their marriage is on the verge of hitting the rocks.
On her part, Mabel, who shares two children with the actor, stated that her dream of having a lifelong marriage has sadly taken a new direction and expressed her commitment to moving on with grace and resilience.
Addressing the rumors circulating about the reason behind their split, Mabel asserted that she is choosing to remain silent for the sake of their children’s mental health and general well-being.
Read her full post below,
“I want to express my sincere gratitude for the supportive messages that I have received from everyone.
However, my silence should not be misunderstood and also the father of my children whom I have been with for some years deserves a certain level respect and privacy from me and all the concerned parties. Most importantly because of our children whose mental health and general well being should be prioritized.
Many lies have been peddled against me and attack orchestrated on the social media space but I will honour my kids with my silence and not address any of these lies.
Although my dreams of a lifelong marriage has taken a different direction now, I’m committed to moving forward with grace and resilience. I have faith in a brighter future for both myself and the children. Despite the rumors or opinions, I find comfort in the belief that all will be well.
While it’s unexpected for things to end this way, I quietly ask for guidance from my faith as I step into this new chapter of life. Also as we navigate this change,I ask for your help in creating an atmosphere of respect and understanding. This is a challenging period, and I ask for privacy and consideration as we (my ex-husband and I) find our own path forward.
I wish him the very best in his journey as well.
God bless us all,
Mabel”
