Nigerian filmmaker Kunle Afolayan has revealed that he is pursuing a divorce as part of his intention to enter into a polygamous marriage. The renowned movie producer made the disclosure during a watch party for his latest film, where he spoke candidly about his family, marital philosophy, and personal upbringing.
Divorce Process Underway
Afolayan confirmed that his divorce case is currently before the courts, and he is prepared to handle all legal implications associated with the process. He explained that the decision aligns with his desire to live according to the marital model he believes in.
Influence of Family Background
Reflecting on his personal history, the filmmaker attributed his views on marriage to his upbringing. He noted that his late father practiced polygamy, having ten wives and 25 children, and that Afolayan himself is the seventh child.
He emphasized that his father’s family structure profoundly influenced his identity and career path, shaping the successes he has achieved in the Nigerian film industry, including projects associated with his name.
Advocating for Family Continuity
During the discussion, Afolayan encouraged men to broaden their perspectives on marriage, suggesting that the continuity of a family line should be a priority.
“I am in and out of court seeking a divorce. I don’t mind the toll. This is so I can marry many wives now,” he said. “Without my father, there wouldn’t be a KAP Village or even Kunle Afolayan. I am the seventh child of my father because he had ten wives.”
The filmmaker’s comments underline how his family heritage continues to shape his outlook on marriage, family, and legacy.
