Nollywood actor Olakunle Fawole, popularly known as Abounce and the son of late veteran actress Bukky Ajayi, has broken his long silence on the end of his marriage to Yvonne Jegede
Although he says he no longer has romantic feelings for her, Abounce made it clear that he would always protect her because they share a son together.
Speaking during an interview With Chude, the actor reflected on the end of their marriage and explained that he has never believed in holding on to bitterness after a relationship ends.
Looking back, he said:
“I had a girlfriend once, but it didn’t work.”
Abounce was asked why the relationship ended, he replied;
“I think we’re just, on different planes. I’d rather just be the one to say, ‘Oh, everything was my fault,’ so to speak, I don’t like the enmity of things.”
Fawole said he would rather be at peace with someone he once loved than avoid them if their paths crossed.
“I don’t want to see somebody that I used to be with down the street and I turn my face away,” he said, adding that he would have no problem greeting his ex-wife if they met.
When asked if he still loves Jegede, his response was brief and direct; ‘No.’
Despite that, he said his sense of responsibility towards her has not changed because she is the mother of his son.
“Yes, she’s the mother of my son,” he said before explaining how far he would go if she ever found herself in danger.
“I’m somewhere, and she’s in trouble, somebody is doing something, I’ll try my best to k!ll the person,” he said.
When he was further asked if that was simply because he wanted to protect her, Abounce replied, “Yes.”
He added that his willingness to step in comes down to one reason:
“she’s the mother of my child.”
