Nollywood star Laide Bakare is creating quite the buzz with her recent social media post. The two-time divorcee caught everyone’s attention by donning a wedding dress to mark the Christmas festivities for 2023. Laide took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself dressed as a bride while extending Christmas greetings to her fans.
Her post quickly garnered comments from fans, with many expressing admiration for her bridal look.
Just a month ago, Laide hinted at the possibility of giving marriage another chance despite her two failed marriages. She had previously shared a video of herself with a mystery man who appeared to be married based on the wedding ring on his finger. This sparked speculation about her love life.
The mother of three, who has been through two divorces – one with American-based business tycoon Olumide Okufulure and another with Alhaji Mutairu Atanda Orilowo – seems to be ready to embrace love again. Her first marriage with Olumide Okunfulure produced a daughter, Simi. She then remarried Mutairu in 2012, and they had two sons before separating due to allegations of his involvement in fraudulent activities.
Last year, she publicly called out her ex-husbands as “deadbeat fathers,” describing them as “Awon ex-hubby isonu” and detailing her struggles. Despite the challenges she has faced, Laide remains optimistic about love and marriage, encouraging her fans to have the courage to give love another chance.
Despite the mixed reactions, Laide’s brave step towards embracing marriage again is undeniably a topic of interest among her fans and followers.
