Lanre Gentry reacts as ex-wife Mercy Aigbe marries ‘friend’
After four years of separation from her former husband Otunba Lanre Gentry, Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has remarried.
The actress made the revelation on Sunday to celebrate the birthday of the new hubby who goes by the name of Kazim Adeoti, popularly known as Adekaz Productions in Yoruba movie circles.
The actress further revealed that their marriage took place in December of 2021 without any fanfare.
Interestingly, the former husband, Lanre Gentry also remarried last September. Unlike his former wife’s marriage, Lanre Gentry’s made a meal of his on social media.
Lanre and Mercy parted ways after a seven-year tumultuous union, oftentimes leading to violence and public drama. While Mercy accused Lanre of domestic violence, Lanre accused the actress of infidelity.
In reaction to Mercy Aigbe’s marriage, the former husband posted a picture of himself, the actress and the new husband of the actress, to apparently make it look like he knew his ex-wife’s new husband before now and that something fishy was going on.
“At last, I thank God the truth is out. This is just one out of many. Glory be to God,” he wrote.
There are even unconfirmed reports that the new husband was Gentre’s friend.
Editor’s note: This story has been updated to show that an earlier claim made in the headline that Mercy Aigbe’s new husband was Gentre’s friend is unsubstantiated.
