I never expected my divorce – Toke Makinwa

Media personality, Toke Makinwa, has opened up concerning how her divorce from fitness expert, Maje Ayida disturbed her.

Toke Makinwa got married in 2014, and got divorced in 2016.

Speaking in the recent edition of ‘Tea with Taymesan’ podcast, the screen diva stated that she didn’t see her divorce coming.

She said: “I didn’t see my divorce coming, I remember cutting my 30th birthday cake in my husband’s house and I remember saying: ‘Yo b*tches, I am 30, I have a blossoming career , I am married , everything is going great right now’. I remember that night, my sister said ‘What do you mean? You are feeling yourself’. I told her I got married before 30 and told her to put respect on my name. It affected every area of my life, it felt like death. It felt like losing someone.

Speaking further, Toke stated that her relationship with God has kept her going.

She said: “My relationship with God, that is the only thing in the world that is really keeping me balanced. I tell people I don’t know how you survive in this world, in this industry without God. I admire people who have different means of coping mechanisms and sometimes I am like ‘how does it work for you’? But for me, I find out that I need to be rooted in something that is beyond all that is happening right now.”
