Nollywood actress and producer Bimpe Akintunde, widely known as “Wasila Coded,” has officially confirmed the end of her marriage to her husband, Ganiyu.
The actress took to her Instagram page on Friday, May 1, 2026, to release an emotional statement, marking a definitive end to a union that began with a high-profile wedding in mid-2023.
“I Am Single”: The Breaking Point
Bimpe’s announcement was characterized by a tone of transparency and “deep reflection.” Key details from her statement include:
- The Confirmation: “Today, I choose to hint mine: I AM SINGLE,” she wrote, ending months of speculation regarding her marital status.
- Pain and Growth: She described the process as “painful but transformative,” emphasizing that the decision was reached after significant prayers and a focus on personal peace.
- Focus on Motherhood: The actress expressed profound gratitude to those who have supported her and her “beautiful daughters,” noting that her primary focus is now on her children and her healing journey.
- The “New Beginning” Mantra: Rather than focusing on the “crash,” Bimpe framed the split as a step toward a “new chapter” and “personal growth,” asking for privacy as she navigates this transition.
The Backstory: A Short-Lived Union
The news is particularly surprising to fans because of the joy that surrounded the couple’s beginnings:
- The 2023 Wedding: In June 2023, Bimpe Akintunde trended across social media when she unveiled her “mystery lover” and tied the knot after being a single mother for several years.
- The Husband (Ganiyu): During the early days of their marriage, she frequently praised Ganiyu for “accepting her and her child,” making the sudden collapse of the marriage less than three years later a major talking point for industry watchers.
