The estranged couple’s main focus and priority is their twins, who they have both agreed to jointly ensure that their well-being and welfare are guaranteed.
Read the statement below,
Bukola Arugba and Damola Olatunji spark breakup rumors
Kemi Filani reported early this year that Bukola Arugba and Damola Olatunji’s marriage was once again on the rocks.
Bukola Arugba fueled breakup rumors when she left a casual birthday message for Damola Olatunji.
Bukola Arugba who is known for always writing epistles to mark Damola Olatunji’s birthday, settled for just a two-line message this year which reads “Happy birthday, twins dad, Do have a great one sir”
The short message had got fans wondering what was going on with the lovebirds.
Damola Olatunji and Bukola Arugba’s shaky marriage
It was alleged that Damola Olatunji’s incessant sex for roles involving young actresses was causing issues in his marriage.
As a matter of fact, the couple not only unfollowed each other but threw shade at each other.
It got messier when Bukola Awoyemi, popularly known as Bukola Arugba, threw a shade at her husband, Damola Olatunji, in her tribute to veteran Olu Jacobs on his recent 80th birthday celebration.
Showering praises on Olu Jacobs, Bukola Arugba stressed that Joke Silva is taking care of him in his old age now because of how well he treated her in their younger days.
True love is made evident in actions and not in mere words. Mummy J is one special kind of woman
Grandpa Olu Jacob is obviously reaping the seed he sowed in her. What you do to her at her young age is psychologically, mentally, emotionally, physically, and spiritually preparing her for your future.
Moreover, the good or bad you do to her now is actually for yourself. She becomes what you deposit in her.
A psychologically and mentally drained woman will automatically become emotionally detached, drained, and less productive. What productivity comes out of “brokenness” Happy birthday Grandpa…she becomes what you do to her, you don’t reap what you did not sow, Grandpa.” Bukola wrote.
