Popular media personality Toke Makinwa has sparked conversations after revealing that she would consider becoming a fifth wife if the opportunity presented itself.
In a recent episode of her podcast, Toke Moments, the 40-year-old media mogul joked that she would not hesitate to marry as a second, third, fourth, or even a fifth wife if given the chance. She quipped, “At this point in my life, if I have the opportunity to marry again, as a second, third, fourth or fifth wife, I will take it.”
Her statement, made in a lighthearted manner, has attracted significant attention from fans and critics alike, as the public continues to reflect on her views about relationships and societal expectations.
While the remark was playful, Makinwa has been open in the past about her struggles with her previous marriage to Maje Ayida, which ended in divorce in 2017 amid allegations of infidelity. In the same podcast episode, Makinwa shared her emotional journey, acknowledging the pressure she felt about being single and childless at 40, while defying the societal norms placed on her.
“I am 40, I am single, and I am childless. I said it, and I didn’t die, and that always made me tear up. I used to feel like, how am I 40 and I don’t have a child? How am I 40 and I am single? How am I 40, and I am alone?” Makinwa expressed. “Listen, if I am completely honest with you guys, if I had gotten married again, I would have been divorced. Because the lessons never stop.”
Toke Makinwa’s candid reflection on her personal life has resonated with many, with some praising her for her confidence and self-awareness. She remains focused on her career accomplishments and the love surrounding her, rather than the pressures to conform to societal expectations.
Her comments about marriage, divorce, and societal pressures have sparked both admiration and debate, positioning Makinwa as a prominent figure not just in the entertainment industry, but also in conversations about modern relationships and the challenges faced by women today.
