That versatile movie director cum actor, Kayode Adebayo’s marriage to Layo Pelumi Komolafe has crashed is no longer news. This is because yesterday, www.yorubamoviegist.com broke the news. However, in less than 12 hours of filing the report, the parties involved got in touch to share their side of the story. Though, Layo was not ready to talk as she was busy insulting and threatening the writer. In an exclusive interview with Gbolahan Adetayo, Kayode Adebayo spoke at length on what influenced the sudden separation of a marriage that should have marked its 1st anniversary in March 7th 2021. Enjoy the interview:
We learnt that Your marriage crashed last year, how factual is that?
It is well! All I just have to say about that is that God knows the best.
What really happened?
I learnt so many lessons in that journey. Number one is that you should marry your friend if you really want to marry, never go into any marriage out of pity. Secondly, no matter what people say about you or about marriage, don’t allow anybody to force you to do anything because at the end, the consequence will be on you, nobody will stay there with you. All in all, do you know how painful it’s when a bike man calls you to tell you that you are in danger in your own house?
How do you mean?
It’s good to be good. In everything, make sure you are good even to the least person around you. That was what saved me, if not it would have been a different story entirely.
When did the marriage crash?
Sometimes last year but I did not see it as something that could get us separated until when something else came up.
What’s that?
Our parents have vital roles to play in our lives even when we settle down. My advice to young ladies and guys out there is that, don’t allow third party in your home and beware of any mother that follows her daughter to pack her loads out of her husband’s house.
Was she promiscuous?
As far as I knew nothing at all about that, I am good to go until later I got to know somethings but I considered it as her past.
Because there are things that are worse than that in life.
After she left, did you guys try to settle and come back together?
Yes, we tried but it’s rather unfortunate that it leads to nowhere because of her mother. Her mother wanted her to leave her matrimonial home and stay with her in her own house.
How?
When your mother is giving you assurance that you should not give any man a chance to ride you and assured you that you can come back home anytime. My brother it’s a big problem that may not be resolved.
She was pregnant during the wedding, what later happened to the pregnancy or she left with it?
That’s another story entirely.
Hint us about it……
Why would your woman be thinking of aborting a 6 month-old pregnancy for no reason? Why would your mother-in-law wanted the pregnancy to come down at all cost? It is absolutely wrong.
Did she eventually abort it?
Not at all. We have a baby boy now.
Now that you have moved on, what’s happening to your love life?
Living my life to the glory of God, He did not allow my parents to cry over me.
Have you found a new love?
A new love you said? For now, anything in me stays in me till God show me the way. Anything on my love life remains within me.
But all in all, I am not perfect and everybody has their own side of the story, so the wife in question too will have something to say about it. Though, all her claims were that someone keeps telling her I am dating someone even before the marriage and my reply was that, if I am dating someone and I choose to marry you, please respect that, the person who is telling you this is trying to push you out of your husband’s house. Imagine at this age, seeing your wife and you are like you are in trouble. Begging your wife before going to work and also begging her when you are coming back home after work because you know somehow somehow trouble is awaiting you at home. My advice to the younger ones is that, they should marry their friends. And don’t try to manage crisis in marriage, if it is not working out don’t pretend, just walk out before it turns to domestic violence.
Any plans to remarry now?
For now, it is a capital NO.
After she left, what changes do you see in your life?
I see more of God.
You recently bought a car, can you talk about it?
Car is just something you need to move you around as a film maker, I have been using cars before now, so getting a new car is just to upgrade yourself.
What should your fans be expecting from you soon?
My new movies are coming out soon. OTA OLORUN ORE OLORUN, IPO, ABEFELE and it will be marketed by Gemini Films.
