Mercy Aigbe Gentry was once married to an Igbo man, but kept his full identity hidden. The union which couldn’t stand the test of time produced a pretty baby girl, Michelle, now a teenager.
“Then, I was young and naive. Now, I handle issues differently. Also, the major reason my first marriage failed was because my ex-husband’s mum did not want him to marry from another tribe”, she was quoted to have said in an interview.
Few years down the line, Mercy found love again in the arms of equally divorced business man, Lewis Gentry.
They couple have a six year old son, Juwon and they haven’t stopped professing love for each other.
Popular Nollywood actress, Lola Alao legalized her second marriage in the United States to American-based IT expert, Wale Ajibola, last year, 2013.
The Yoruba actress who had a daughter from her previous marriage said she has forgiven her ex-husband, Dare Ogunlana, but allegations made by the man during the heat of the divorce saga still lingers.
Dare described Lola as “diabolical, deceitful and a woman not to be trusted”, to which the woman responded with maturity by keeping mum.
In a recent interview, Lola agreed her ex husband was a nice man but got carried away by the pain of the separation. According to her “that man is a very nice man, it just didn’t work out between us”, she said.
Foluke Daramola was once married to Babatunde Sobowale, the son of former Lagos State Commissioner of Education, Professor Sobowale and they had two children together.

Daramola has since remarried, and recently celebrated her second wedding anniversary with her latest husband, Kayode Salako while Sobowale too has given marriage a second chance.
