Popular nollywood actress, Funke Akindele has broken her silence for the first time since her now-estranged husband, JJC Skillz, announced their separation on social media.
The screen diva, however, ignored her marital issues to acknowledge her invitation to Oscar’s class of 2022. She said the invitation gladdens her heart.
Funke Akindele tagged the feat as a ‘big deal’ in her social media post on Saturday, July 2, 2022.
She wrote; “Wow!!!! I’m so happy!!! Getting an invitation as a member of THE ACADEMY OF MOTION PICTURE ARTS AND SCIENCES (class of 2022) under the category of ACTORS, is such a BIG DEAL💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽.”
“Thank you @theacademy @realchiomaude 🤗 I’m so honored!! #funkeakindelefans #jenifans you all rock 🤗❤️”
DAILY GIST reported that JJC Skillz confirmed their separation in a post via his Instagram handle
According to him, he tried to ensure things didn’t get to this stage but it eventually did.
He wrote: “Dear Friends and family I need to let you know that Funke and I have separated. While it lasted we shared a lot of things together and have created 2 beautiful children. The last two years have been extremely difficult for us.”
”I know I have tried my best to fix things but I believe it is beyond repair now. 3 months ago and at Funkes insistence I moved out of the house and apart from AMVCA have not been able to get Funke to sit down in an amicable manner to discuss the future of our relationship.”
“I’m making this announcement so that the public is clear that we both are pursuing separate lives. We still have issues that need to be addressed such as the custody and wellbeing of our children which is paramount as well as business interests which need to be disentangled but I have no doubt that these will be resolved one way or the other”
The former couple had two children together
