Nollywood star, Funke Akindele is not pregnant
as rumoured.
A close family source told Entertainment Café
that the actress was amused reading a story in
the current edition of a Lagos-based soft sell
magazine suggesting that she suffered a
miscarriage and her movie career has nose-
dived.
“Funke is not pregnant yet. She has chosen to be
silent on the true state of her condition because
in Yoruba culture, it is more of a taboo for a
married woman to publicly denounce or confirm
if she’s pregnant or not.
“This is a private affair and that’s why she was so
amused and even surprised about the story
claiming that she lost her pregnancy,” the source
told Entertainment Café in a telephone chat.
The source added that when the initial story with
a picture of a supposed baby bump hit the
internet and that Akindele was in her first
trimester, she silently claimed it since that is her
wish after a grand wedding in May.
The rumour continued making rounds in
September after another soft sell magazine
published pictures of Akindele at the Nigerian
Entertainment Awards held in the United States.
When the 37-year old actress strolled into the
premises of Eko Hotel And Suites, venue of The
Headies, on 20 October, all eyes were on her.
Funke, who wore a black silk pair of trousers and
high heeled shoes, was seen strolling around
with her friends.
But when Entertainment Café walked up to her to
inquire about her rumoured pregnancy, the
actress’ mien tightened into a scowl.
But the persistence of our correspondent forced
a stern remark as she walked off muttering:
“What do you want to hear? Thought you are a
Yoruba man?”
Celebrities sure can’t keep people from invading
their privacies. Fans just want to know it all,
Funke. Maybe you should just say something to
your fans.[PMN]
