Veteran Nigerian media personality and actress, Doyin Kukoyi, has finally addressed rumours of her alleged marriage to actor Taiwo Hassan, popularly known as Ogogo.
Recall that the speculation began in 2022 after photos of the pair in matching traditional attire went viral on social media.
Adding fuel to the reports, Kukoyi herself shared the images on Instagram, captioning them with affectionate love emojis.
This led to widespread claims that the actress had unveiled Ogogo as her husband and became his third wife.
However, speaking in a recent interview on the Nollywood on Radio podcast, Kukoyi clarified that the trending pictures were merely a strategy to promote a film in which they both starred as a couple.
Discussing her personal life, she revealed that she is happily married with three children.
The actress explained that she was never offended by the misconception and even found it amusing. She said people still stop her on the street to ask, “How is your husband?” to which she cheerfully replies, “He is fine.”
“I realised that people would talk about the things you bring online. You don’t have control over people’s judgments about you because nobody will talk about you if you don’t bring your story to them.
“The first one, I was at a location with Sir Tee (Ogogo). We played the role of husband and wife. We took a picture, and I tagged it with my heart rob. And everyone still believes that I’m married to Ogogo. I did that to sell that movie. And I did not correct the misconception.”
