Segun Ogungbe and Wunmi Ajiboye set tongues wagging with public reunion

In a development that has sent shockwaves through the Yoruba movie industry, popular actor and producer Segun Ogungbe appears to have reconciled with his estranged partner, actress Wunmi Ajiboye, nearly three years after their highly publicized and “messy” split.

The duo, whose relationship seemingly hit the rocks in 2023, left fans stunned on Sunday when they were spotted in a warm embrace during the star-studded premiere of Ogungbe’s latest cinematic offering, ‘Irete’.

The Ghost of 2023 Followers of Nollywood “gist” will recall the drama that unfolded during Wunmi’s mother’s burial in 2023. At the time, the actress was heavily dragged for allegedly “ignoring” Ogungbe while giving a grand reception to former NURTW boss, MC Oluomo.

The incident fueled rumors of an affair with the transport mogul—an allegation Wunmi fiercely denied. In the heat of the breakup, Wunmi had famously distanced herself from the “wife” title, claiming that Ogungbe never paid her bride price and “doesn’t know her people,” despite the two sharing two sons.

A New Chapter? However, Sunday’s public display of affection at the ‘Irete’ premiere suggests that the “water has passed under the bridge.” Videos and photos from the event show the couple holding onto each other, smiling, and looking every bit like a united front.

Netizens React While some fans are celebrating the reunion of the parents of two, others remain skeptical, questioning if the reconciliation is a genuine move or a strategic “PR stunt” to drive traffic toward the new movie.

“Is this real love or ‘Irete’ promo?” one fan asked on Instagram, while others congratulated the couple for putting their children first and moving past the social media “dragging.”
