Aigbe and Gentry wedded in 2013 and parted ways in 2017. The union produced a son, Juwon. While Aigbe is being reported to have secretly wedded Adeoti a few weeks ago, Gentry, on the other hand, remarried in September 2021.

Rumours were rife that the actress and Adeoti are an item because they are always in each other’s company.

Adeoti also produced some of Mercy’s movies and always attends her events.

The IbakaTv boss doesn’t hesitate to congratulate her and celebrate her achievements on Instagram.

On her instagram posts, the actress fondly calls him ‘boss’ and “di owner” and calls herself “Agbeke aya di owner”.

In the grand unveiling post on Sunday, she wrote: “Finally I said Yes to ‘D’ Owner Thank you, God, of many chances” which suggests that Adeoti was the ‘owner’ she had always referred to. Her post also suggests that they have secretly tied the knot.

There is hardly any film that he produces that Aigbe does not feature. She often plays lead roles in his movies.

While friends and fans rejoice with the actress on her newfound love, others have raised concerns that Adeoti’s relationship with the actress poses a threat to his marriage for nearly two decades.

He is a father-of-four while his wife, Funsho, is a notable fashion designer and owner of Asiwaju Couture.

Nonetheless, critics say since Adeoti is a Muslim as such, he is permitted to marry more than one wife.
