Segun Ogungbe Sets Record Straight on Reconciliation Speculations with Ex-Wife Omowunmi Ajiboye
Nollywood actor Segun Ogungbe has publicly addressed swirling rumors about a potential reconciliation with his former wife, actress Omowunmi Ajiboye. The speculation intensified after the duo was frequently spotted together at various high-profile events, sparking curiosity among fans and media outlets.
Professional Collaboration, Not Personal Reconciliation
In a detailed explanation, Ogungbe emphasized that his interactions with Ajiboye are purely professional, centered around their collaborative movie project titled Irete. He revealed that both actors co-produced the film with equal financial contributions, each investing over N300 million into the production.
"It's the nature of our work," Ogungbe stated. "We have to put our differences aside and work together, even if we're not on good terms. I had no choice but to collaborate with her on set. She was aware of my movie before our separation and even contributed financially to it. We co-produced the movie, Irete, and we spent the same amount of money on the movie. It's a 50/50 contribution."
Strictly Business Communication
When questioned about their current communication, Ogungbe confirmed that they do interact, but strictly in matters related to the film and general acting work. He clarified that their relationship remains professional, with no personal reconciliation involved.
The actor highlighted the significant financial investment in Irete, noting that he has already expended more than 300 million naira on production costs. This substantial commitment underscores why both parties remain professionally engaged despite their personal history.
Public Appearances Fuel Speculation
Earlier reports indicated that Ogungbe and Ajiboye reunited publicly for the movie premiere in Lagos, attending the event in grand style alongside other Nollywood stars. Their coordinated appearance and visible mutual support further fueled speculation about a possible romantic reconciliation.
However, Ogungbe's recent statements aim to dispel these rumors, focusing attention instead on their professional partnership and the artistic merits of their collaborative project.
