HOW THEY MET

Fate played a major role in how Funke and Kenny met. According to what bebeakinboade.blogspot.com gathered, the lovebirds would not have met if a colleague of Funke didn’t try pulling some funny strings which unconsciously brought them together. Apparently, a colleague of Funke pretended to be her, she got talking to Kenny Oloyede  and the conversations got very deep. Kenny then asked to meet the ‘fake’  Funke Akindele.

Coincidentally, she invited Kenny over on a day Funke was to be on set, this colleague of hers too was there.  When she sensed she couldn’t go on with her prank  again, she confessed to Funke Akindele begging her profusely and told Funke to handle it for her which she refused at first but later agreed to. One thing led to another after then, they moved into greater things only for Kenny to resurface again.

LIFE AFTER WEDDING

Funke will continue to act and produce her movies, the two will move into their Lekki home and she will also be prepared for the role of a mother and a wife.
