Toke Makinwa, the popular media personality, recently addressed rumors of a secret marriage during her 40th birthday Thanksgiving party in Lagos. Social media was buzzing with claims that she had tied the knot with Farouk Umar, an entertainment executive, after a video of the two sharing affectionate moments went viral. In the clip, Toke wore a white dress, and Farouk donned traditional attire, leading to widespread speculation.
However, Toke clarified at the party that the rumors were false, explaining that Farouk is just a close friend who has supported her during tough times. She humorously dismissed the claims, saying, “On Obasanjo’s internet, they said I got married to this guy… Farouk, my friend, ore mi.”
Reflecting on her personal struggles, Toke also revisited her 2014 marriage to Maje Ayida and their eventual divorce in 2017, following infidelity allegations. She expressed gratitude to God for giving her the strength to endure the pain of the divorce, sharing that she felt like she would “die” on the day her marriage ended.
Toke also took time to appreciate her friends for their support during those difficult moments and acknowledged her deep faith for helping her through. She thanked God for sustaining her, even when her faith was wavering, and acknowledged her journey of healing and resilience.
