I was never married to Segun Ogungbe, we just have kids – Actress Omowunmi Ajiboye

Nollywood actress and filmmaker Omowunmi Ajiboye has finally broken her silence on long-standing rumours surrounding her relationship with fellow actor and movie producer, Segun Ogungbe. In a heartfelt clarification, Ajiboye stated publicly that she was never married to Ogungbe, contrary to widespread assumptions held by fans, bloggers, and even some industry colleagues.
For years, many believed the two were legally married, especially because of how closely they worked together and the fact that they share children. However, Ajiboye revealed that while she and Ogungbe had a deep personal and professional bond, their relationship never progressed into a formal marriage.
According to the actress, the misunderstanding grew from their long-term partnership and their presence together in the public eye. She emphasized that although their relationship produced children, they did not exchange marital vows nor undergo any traditional or legal marriage rites.
Ajiboye explained that she decided to address the issue now because of persistent misinformation and negative narratives surrounding her name, especially those that paint her as a second wife or accuse her of breaking an existing marriage.
She noted that her silence had allowed the rumours to flourish, but believes setting the record straight is necessary for her peace, career, and the well-being of her children. She added that while she and Ogungbe are no longer together, they remain committed to co-parenting and ensuring their children grow in a healthy environment.
Ajiboye urged fans, bloggers, and online commentators to avoid jumping to conclusions about people’s personal lives, stressing that every individual deserves respect, privacy, and the right to narrate their own story without distortion.
Her statement has stirred fresh conversation across social media as fans react to the revelation, with many expressing surprise and others commending her courage for speaking up despite the sensitivity of the matter. As the reactions continue to pour in, Ajiboye says her main focus now is her career, her brand, and raising her children in peace.
