Nollywood’s Wumi Toriola Sparks Drama

I Want More Babies with My Ex—Not Marriage!” — Wumi Toriola Shocks Fans with Bold Confession

LAGOS, NIGERIA – In a revelation that has left fans stunned and the internet buzzing, popular Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has openly declared that she has no interest in getting married again — but still wants to have more children with her ex-husband.

The outspoken actress, known for her fiery roles on screen and blunt takes off-screen, made the confession in a recent interview that has gone viral across social media.

“I’m not interested in getting married now, but I want to have more babies with my ex-husband,” she said without hesitation.

Toriola, whose marriage ended in 2023, explained that despite their separation, she and her ex-husband maintain a solid co-parenting relationship — and even share mutual respect when it comes to parenting.

“My ex-husband told me that I may not be a good wife to him if we come back together,” she revealed.
“But he also told me that I’m a good mother to our children.”

A Marriage Built on Conflict

In a tell-all moment last year, the actress disclosed that the marriage broke down due to constant emotional clashes, with her ex allegedly throwing past mistakes in her face during arguments — a pattern she said became too toxic to continue.

Yet, in a twist that has captured public attention, Toriola seems to be embracing a non-traditional family dynamic, openly stating her desire for more children with a man she no longer sees herself marrying.

“More Babies, No Ring”

Her candid take has ignited hot debates across social media, with fans divided — some praising her honesty and progressive mindset, others questioning the complications such an arrangement might bring.

While her ex-husband is reportedly not remarried, Toriola admitted she doesn’t know if he is in a new relationship, but emphasized that their current parenting arrangement is working just fine.
