Nollywood actress Laide Bakare has once again set tongues wagging with her relationship with her colleague, Odobodobo Motolani. On her Instagram page, she shared photos of herself and the actor in matching traditional outfits, revealing that their friendship was built on trust, laughter, respect, and a deep understanding shared only by them. She said that, despite public opinion, they chose to listen to their hearts. “Our friendship was built on trust, laughter, respect, and a deep understanding that only we shared. While others had their opinions, we chose to listen to our hearts. @odobodobo_motolani . Thanks so much @Amooke_Alasoke for making this masterpiece Outfit”. During last year’s Christmas celebration, Laide shared photos of herself and Motolani wearing matching pyjamas, saying that love conquers all. Motolani also shared photos of them, saying that he thought it was going to be a lonely Christmas, but she showed up. In 2023, Laide unveiled a man on her Instagram page as she talked about love, describing it as a beautiful thing as she called on her fans and lover to join them on December 2nd at Amore Garden, Lekki. In another post, she advised her fans to have enough courage to give love another shot. Further fueling relationship speculation, the movie star had replied to a troll who queried her over her new relationship, after she defended her new man against false accusations. Taking to her comment section, a troll questioned if the actress wouldn’t leave her new man because of money as she did with her second husband. Surprisingly, Laide replied him with insults as she noted how she had her own money. Setting the record straight on their relationship, Bakare made it known that she was still husbandless. She stated that the man she made videos with is nothing but her colleague. Laide Bakare has been married twice. Her first marriage was with American-based business tycoon, Olumide Okufulure, while her second marriage was with Alhaji Mutairu Atanda Orilowo. Her first marriage to Olumide Okunfulure produced a daughter, Simi. Unfortunately, the marriage didn’t last long and Laide Bakare got remarried to Mutairu in 2012 in a secret marriage and the union produced two sons. The couple however separated after he was alleged to be involved in fraudulent activities which made the EFCC declare him wanted in 2014.
