This might be a good and happy time for Funke and her estranged husband, the Afrobeat King, Femi Anikulapo Kuti, according to reports flying around town.
The couple, who divorced and have lived apart for several years, though they refused to reveal the reason for their separation, according to facts reaching The Eagle Online, are back together as lovers.
The fire of their love, we exclusively gathered, is seriously burning that they can no longer hide it from friends and close family members since they got back sometimes late last year.
Funke and Femi, who have been frequently spotted together lately, unlike when they shared just platonic friendship because of their child, are also said to be planning having another child if their trial reunion goes as planned.
“They keep painting this ‘we’re best of friends picture’ because they are afraid of failing again, but ironically you all buy it even when Funke is not flaunting any man as pretty as she is with her nice character and Uncle Femi is also not proud of his baby mamas and yet they go everywhere together,” a close family source revealed.
However, our suspicions were confirmed when they were spotted together again at Tunde and Wunmi Obe’s house party.
The two held hands, laughed, conversed and even posed for the camera in a way typical of lovers.
Although this is not the first time in recent times they were seen together but this last outing got the public asking if they were back together as couple, hence the reason for investigating.
“The truth is, they are working on coming back as husband and wife, reason being that they’ve not gotten over each other in the real sense of a divorce despite trying different relationships. This might be coming as news to some people, but seriously, it isn’t news to us,” the female source added.
Another insider who is privy to the affairs of Funke, but prefers to remain anonymous, disclosed that the mother of one is seriously considering having another child and sees the father of her only son, Made, as her best choice if she must go ahead with the decision.
“Apart from the fact that she loves Uncle Femi unconditionally, she wants more children and she prefers him over the relationships she tried in the past,” the insider said.
Meanwhile, we also gathered that Made, who is their only child together, had always advocated for the reunion of his parents.
Who knows, this might just be the reunion the new graduate of a London varsity had prayed for as we also got to know that despite Femi’s many liaisons that have produced other children, Funke happens to remain the love of his life.
