Some People Think I Left My Marriage To Fornicate With Different Men, But Nobody Knew My Pain– Bimbo Akinsanya


Renowned Yoruba film star Bimbo Akinsanya has broken her silence about her short-lived marriage and the deeply personal struggles that led to its end. In an emotional and revealing interview on Kunleafod TV’s official YouTube channel, the actress shared for the first time the heartbreaking circumstances surrounding the breakdown of her marriage and how she has since embraced the role of a single parent.


Bimbo recounted that she tied the knot in 2014, full of hope and expectations for a happy union. Like many newlyweds, she entered the marriage with optimism, dreaming of building a home and a future with her partner. However, she revealed that things took a turn for the worse not long after the wedding. Despite her efforts to keep the relationship intact, cracks in the foundation began to appear, and within a year, the marriage collapsed.


According to the actress, ending the relationship was one of the most agonizing decisions she’s ever had to make, particularly because she had just become a mother. She disclosed that she walked away when her son was merely three months old. The emotional toll of making such a decision while still adjusting to motherhood was immense, yet she felt she had no choice. For Bimbo, staying in an environment that was no longer healthy was not an option, even if it meant raising her child on her own.


She spoke candidly about the pain and disappointment she experienced, explaining that the issues in the marriage were deep-rooted and went beyond what anyone could see from the outside. While she chose not to divulge specific details out of respect for her former spouse and their shared history, Bimbo made it clear that her departure was born out of necessity—not impulsiveness or self-interest.


The actress also addressed the cloud of misinformation and rumors that followed her separation. In the aftermath of her divorce, there were speculations suggesting that she left her husband in pursuit of personal freedom or to engage in extramarital relationships. These claims, she emphasized, were baseless and hurtful. Bimbo lamented that many people judged her without truly understanding the emotional and psychological battles she was fighting behind closed doors.


“People love to talk, but very few take the time to ask what really happened,” she said. “It’s easy to make assumptions, but only those who have walked in my shoes can understand how painful it was to make that decision.”


Since leaving her marriage, Bimbo has dedicated herself to raising her son, and although the path has been filled with obstacles, she remains steadfast in her commitment to his well-being. She described her journey as a single mother as both challenging and fulfilling. While there have been moments of loneliness, self-doubt, and emotional strain, the joy of watching her son grow and thrive has made every sacrifice worthwhile.


The actress admitted that she never envisioned herself as a single parent, but life had different plans. Instead of dwelling on what went wrong, she has chosen to focus on healing, growth, and building a stable future for her child. Bimbo expressed pride in the woman she has become—stronger, more self-aware, and resilient in the face of adversity.


Looking back, she has no regrets about leaving the marriage. While it was painful at the time, she believes it was a necessary step for her peace of mind and for the sake of her son's future.


According to her, "I got married in 2014, but my marriage lasted for just 1 year, and I'm now a single mom. Some people think that I left the marriage to fornicate with different men, but none of them knew about the pains that I went through in the marriage."
