Kunle Afod has spoken publicly for the first time about his separation from wife Desola, talking about his demanding job, jealousy and suspicion in marriages.
Months after the rumours started flying, Nollywood actor and filmmaker Kunle Afod has finally spoken about his separation from his wife, Desola Afod, popularly known as Celeb Wife. He did it in an interview with Kasnasty Sugar on YouTube, published on Thursday, November 5, 2026. The main thing he pointed to was work. According to him, his job is so demanding that he and his wife sometimes don’t have time for their home.
What’s interesting is that he didn’t walk viewers through what went wrong in his own marriage. When he was asked directly for the cause of the separation, he talked about relationships in general instead. He even apologised to women before getting into the matter.
His argument was that women often find it hard to tolerate in others the same behaviour they show themselves. He said a wife who is very close to a female friend would also raise her husband’s suspicion. He also said women who ask for sex toys but object when their husbands use them are applying a double standard. He didn’t say any of this happened in his own marriage, and he didn’t accuse Desola of anything. At one point, he also said actors love their work more than their spouses.
The separation talk isn’t new. Reports of trouble first surfaced in February 2026, after claims that Desola had moved her belongings out of their matrimonial home. Until this interview, neither of them had publicly confirmed anything.
At the time of filing, Desola had not publicly responded to the interview. For now, all we have is Afod’s side, told in broad strokes. Whether she decides to say something of her own is the part many people will be waiting for.
