Funke Akindele has been married twice; first to Adeola Oloyede and JJC Skillz.

Funke Akindele got married to Adeola Kehinde Oloyede in 2013, but they divorced in May 2016, citing irreconcilable differences.

Speaking on it, Funke hinted at being pressured into marriage as she admonished young women against rushing into marriage because of pressure. She noted how her first marriage ended in a very bad way, and it was all over social media, which led her to lose several endorsement deals and broke her down.

Funke Akindele later got remarried to singer, JJC Skillz and welcomed twin boys with him, but the marriage didn’t last as the couple separated in 2023.

JJC Skillz shocked the world when he announced the end of his 7-year-old union to the actress, as he admitted that the marriage had been having issues for the past two years, and revealed that the actress asked him to leave her house, and refused any form of amicable communication with him.

Barely a year after the divorce, rumors made rounds that JJC Skillz had allegedly gotten married to an Ebira woman, identified as Falilat Raji.

Speaking on their separation, Funke Akindele, in an interview with Legit.ng revealed that their vision no longer aligned.

According to her, their dreams and vision of what their marriage should be like no longer aligned, while adding that all efforts to make it work fell on de@f ears, hence, their decision to split.

Despite their separation, the former couple have remained on good terms for their children’s sake.

Recently, Funke Akindele had replied to a Twitter user who advised her to get remarried.

The tweep had urged her to get remarried in 2024, pointing out how the filmmaker is getting old, and she replied appreciating him for the advice, noting how he is the wedding planner.
