Nollywood actor Kunle Afod and his wife are now living apart, according to a report published on Thursday, November 5, 2026, by Premium Times. The outlet ran the story under the title "Why I separated from my wife – Actor Kunle Afod", indicating that the actor himself has addressed the end of the relationship.
Premium Times described the pair as an estranged couple. Their story, by the newspaper's account, goes back more than two decades: they began dating in 2002 and formally tied the knot three years later, in 2005.
The marriage produced children, the report added. It did not state how many children the couple share or give their names.
What is known and what is not
The publicly available portion of the Premium Times report is brief. While its title signals that the actor explained his reasons for the separation, the excerpt available does not spell out those reasons, nor does it say when the couple parted ways, where the actor made his comments, or whether his wife has responded.
There is also no information in the report on whether the separation involves any formal legal process such as a divorce petition, or on custody arrangements for the children. These details have not been independently confirmed.
Kunle Afod is a familiar face to Nigerian movie lovers through his work in Nollywood, and news of the end of a relationship spanning more than 20 years is likely to draw strong interest from fans. Further details are expected as more of the actor's account becomes public.
