Speaking in an interview with City People Magazine, however, Afolayan called on the public to disregard such claims.

He said: “That’s actually personal to me. I really don’t want my personal life out there; I always keep that out of the media not because of anything but it is just a personal principle for me. Nevertheless, my marriage is very much intact.”

The actor said he had kept mum over the alleged split because he did not want make his personal life public.

He added: “Yes, I heard about the rumours too, but you know, there is no marriage that doesn’t have its own challenges, but we have settled it. My wife just travelled out of the country, and we are very much okay. Just because I didn’t say anything or make it go viral for those looking for sensational stories, they think otherwise. But my marriage is intact.”
