Popular Nollywood actress Bukola Awoyemi, widely known as Bukola Arugba, has finally addressed her separation from her ex-husband, actor Damola Olatunji. The couple parted ways in May 2023, and while the exact reasons for their breakup were not publicly disclosed, rumors suggested that allegations of infidelity against Olatunji may have played a role.

During a recent candid question-and-answer session with fans on her YouTube channel, Arugba expressed frustration over the constant inquiries about her past relationship. She revealed that she decided to end the relationship because it had become unworkable, despite her best efforts to save it.

“My ex is living his life, and we are not fighting. We are co-parenting very well. There are some things deeper than what the eyes can see. He is the father of my twins,” she shared.

Arugba emphasized that the decision to separate was mutual and based on the challenges they faced. “We went our separate ways because it wasn’t working. I tried my best. I can only speak for myself—I tried my best to make it work, but it just wasn’t working. Please, I am saying this to all my fans: I beg you in God’s name, let sleeping dogs lie.”

She also urged fans to respect their privacy and avoid dragging their past into Olatunji’s current relationship. “We are both doing fine. I wouldn’t want what happened between us in our past relationship to affect his new relationship. Please, let the sleeping dog lie.”

Arugba’s heartfelt plea highlights her desire to move forward amicably while focusing on co-parenting their twins and maintaining a positive relationship with her ex.
