Nigerian On-Air Personality Toke Makinwa has reflected on the incident that led to the collapse of her marriage to Maje Ayida and how their supposed romance was sweet.
Toke Makinwa explained to Chude Jideonwo during a chat that her ex-husband was her best friend and she still finds it unbelievable that the union ended.
Toke said she wish he had walked up to her to explain that his side chic had gotten pregnant for him before the news covered it.
The socialite disclosed she felt betrayed because she was deeply in love with him. In her words; “I wish my ex-husband had walked up to me to say ‘girl you know I’ve done something’”.
“I mean I tell people, regardless of what you guys saw play out in the media that was my guy. That was my friend. Many years have passed and sometimes you have this moment where it’s still unbelievable because at that time I was young but I fell in love with this guy hard.”
“He was the best thing that ever happened since sliced bread. Nobody could tell me otherwise, you know this was my friend. So to go through that sort of betrayal, nothing compares, there’s absolutely nothing I can say, you know, to explain the things that went through my head.”
“There was no hold hands, baby can I tell you something, I’ve wrong you, it wasn’t that. It was lies. ‘It’s not true, it’s not true’ and then ‘I’ll confess I’ll confess and it’s true’ and that was it.”
“And right after he confessed and told me that had happened, he still asked our chef to give him food and he still ate while I was on the floor crying…”
Toke Makinwa and Maje Ayida’s marriage crashed in 2015, following the news that her estranged husband was expecting a child from his side chic, Anita Solomon.
