The marriage of popular Nollywood actor Ninalowo Bolanle to his wife, Bimbo, has crashed.
The actor broke the sad news via a statement he personally authored and released on Friday.
Ninalowo noted that he is heart broken but the decision to separate from his wife was necessary in order for him to protect his mental health.
He urged the public to respect their privacy and pray for them.
The actor said: “Finally I accept the reality of the End to a Road! A sad reality that gives room & hope for a brighter and more fulfilling future!
A reality that is SAD for my loving and adorable children but necessary for a peaceful and loveable future. A sad reality I prayed, nurtured and worked tirelessly hard never to experience for the sake of all.
A sad reality I now have to accept as I realize that my kids are much grown with better sense of understanding and knowledge of my pain & struggles regarding them!
A sad reality that screams that I wont live or be around forever and must take care of my health & mental state for the goodness of all.
May God help me and reward me with all I truly deserve or punish me for all I have done wrong if that be the case.
In the end we will all live with the consequences of our actions. Sad but real and true!
Now I have to do and be better for the sake of the same children I fought so hard never to be separated from.
The journey thus far only makes me stronger as I come to terms with what I truly need and deserve for all my relentless hard work & efforts in life.
Heart broken but not shattered yet I stand tall as I break this sad but true news to the same world who adores my beautiful family & I.
My wife & I have decided to go our separate ways and headed for an irreconcilable marriage dissolution.
Please respect our privacy and pray for us during this process as we heal and move on with our independent lives while jointly taking care of what we love most, Our children! God bless all.”
Back story
Ninalowo and Bunmi found love from a young age. They both admitted it was love at first sight but their marriage encountered a lot of downtimes.
A point came when Nino’s fine boy looks and career as an actor didn’t help matters. He was constantly linked to different women in the industry.
Bunmi needed explanations and assurance. She got none and her faith in him dropped.

Hopefully, the actor and his wife will find a middle ground again!
