Yoruba star actress
and Glo Ambassador, Funke Akindele, has opened up on reports and rumours about
her pregnancy.
A close family source
of the actress told Entertainment Café that Akindele was
amused reading a story in the current edition of a Lagos-based soft sell
magazine suggesting that she suffered a miscarriage and her movie career has
nose-dived.
“Funke is not pregnant
yet. She has chosen to be silent on the true state of her condition because in
Yoruba culture, it is more of a taboo for a married woman to publicly denounce
or confirm if she’s pregnant or not.

“This is a private
affair and that’s why she was so amused and even surprised about the story
claiming that she lost her pregnancy,” the source told Entertainment Café in a
telephone chat.
The source added that
when the initial story with a picture of a supposed baby bump hit the internet
and that Akindele was in her first trimester, she silently claimed it since
that is her wish after a grand wedding in May.
The rumour continued
to fester in September after another soft sell magazine published pictures of
Akindele at the Nigerian Entertainment Awards held in the United States.
When the 37-year old
actress strolled into the premises of Eko Hotel And Suites, venue of The
Headies, on 20 October, all eyes were on her.
But when Entertainment
Café walked up to her to inquire about her rumoured pregnancy, the actress’
mien tightened into a scowl.
But the persistence of
our correspondent forced a stern remark as she walked off muttering: “What do
you want to hear? Thought you are a Yoruba man?”
