Kayode Salako, the husband of Nollywood actress Foluke Daramola, has confirmed that he is now married to Oluwafunke Oyegoke-Salako, with whom he has welcomed a child.

Salako explained that he and Foluke have been married for over 13 years without having biological children together, which prompted him to consider other options.

“It took me 3 years of begging Foluke, my wife, to allow me to have at least one, or two children here in Nigeria to secure my old age, since I’m not impotent,” he wrote.

Now in his fifties, Salako expressed his desire to have children for the sake of family continuity. After thoughtful discussions, Daramola consented to his request, leading to the birth of their child, Murewa Omowonuola Salako.

Reflecting on the decision, Salako shared, “I don’t want to clock 70 without children around me.” He mentioned that Daramola ultimately saw the value in his wish, and her understanding enabled him to pursue this path with Oluwafunke, his now-confirmed second wife.

Salako also acknowledged that Oluwafunke has been the subject of Nigerian media attention since 2023, when rumours of their relationship first surfaced.

Foluke Daramola and Kayode Salako married in 2010, and the actress has continued to support her husband in his personal and professional pursuits.

The couple’s decision underscores their adaptability and respect for each other’s aspirations, showing that communication and mutual understanding are central to their relationship.
