Nollywood actress, Mercy Aigbe has remarried after 4 years of separation from her former husband, Otunba Lanre Gentry.
The actress made the revelation on Sunday, January 23, 2022 to celebrate the birthday of her new hubby who goes by the name of Kazim Adeoti, popularly known as Adekaz Productions in the Yoruba movie circles.
Mercy Aigbe further revealed that their marriage took place in December of 2021 without any fanfare.
Interestingly, her former husband, Lanre Gentry also remarried last year in September. Unlike his former wife’s marriage, Lanre Gentry made his own marriage public on social media.
Lanre and Mercy parted ways after a 7-year tumultuous union, oftentimes leading to violence and public dramas. While Mercy accused Lanre of domestic violence while he in turn accused the actress of infidelity.
In reaction to Mercy Aigbe’s marriage, her former husband posted a picture of himself, the actress and the new husband of the actress, to tell the world that the man the actress just married used to be his friend.
“At last I thank God the truth is out. This is just one out of many. Glory be to God,” he wrote.
While the actress continues to flaunt her new found love on Instagram, some fans are concerned that Adeoti’s relationship with the actress threatens his marriage of over two decades.
Adeoti is a father of four while his first wife, Funsho, who lives in Minnesota, U.S., is a notable fashion designer and owner of Asiwaju Couture.
Her upscale store boasts high-profile clientele in the National Assembly and social circles.
Adeoti, on the other hand, was a licensed Mortgage Broker in the U.S. before relocating to Nigeria to float a movie production outfit, Adekaz Production.
In 2021, Mercy Aigbe flaunted an engagement ring on Instagram, which further fueled rumours that the mother of two was betrothed, but at the time, her lover’s identity remained a mystery.
