🕊️ “I Didn’t Listen” — Toyin Abraham Reflects on Ignoring Divine Warnings
Toyin Abraham, one of Nollywood’s most beloved and successful actresses, revealed that her family strongly advised against her first marriage to Adeniyi Johnson. According to her, they had sought divine guidance and were given clear signs that the marriage wouldn’t work.
“My family wasn’t in support. They prayed and got a revelation that it wouldn’t work, but I was stubborn. I didn’t listen,” she told Ebuka during the sit-down.
Despite their concerns, she followed through with the union, which lasted about two years before ultimately ending in divorce.
This candid confession adds a deeply personal layer to the public narrative around her past — something Toyin had rarely spoken about in such detail before.
❤️ How She Found Peace With Kolawole Ajeyemi
In sharp contrast to the turbulence of her first marriage, Toyin Abraham now speaks with glowing admiration about her current husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi, who is also a respected actor and filmmaker.
“In real life, he’s very calm. He is a prayer warrior. Whenever I go to Abeokuta, he’s always there.”
She described how their relationship blossomed gradually, grounded in friendship, faith, and mutual respect.
Initially, Toyin kept the relationship low-key. But over time, as she grew more fond of Ajeyemi, she started accompanying him to work, eventually meeting his family and introducing him to hers.
“We had a little introduction. Then I got pregnant… and then marriage followed,” she shared with a soft smile.
🙏 A Second Chance Backed by Faith
What stood out most in Toyin’s story was the spiritual foundation of her second marriage. Unlike her first, this time her family was fully supportive — and the union was backed by prayer.
“I come from a Christian home, and my family prayed again. This time, they received confirmation that he was truly my husband,” she said.
Today, Toyin and Kolawole are proud parents to two beautiful children, a boy and a girl. She describes her home life as joyful, supportive, and filled with mutual understanding.
“Trust me, I married one of the best. I will not say the best because there are other marriages I look up to, but my husband is one of the best,” she said proudly.
