- Nollywood actor Kunle Afod has publicly celebrated his wife, Desola Afod, calling her the anchor of their marriage despite years of public scrutiny, infidelity rumors, and online backlash.
- In a recent interview, Afod credited her resilience for keeping their home intact, while also stirring controversy with his views on cheating and women’s sexual autonomy.
Kunle Afod is no stranger to controversy, but in his latest interview with fellow actress Biola Bayo, the Nollywood filmmaker took a moment to spotlight the woman who’s stood by him through it all—his wife, Desola Afod. According to Afod, the strength of any long-lasting marriage lies in the woman’s ability to hold it together, and he credits Desola for doing just that.
The couple’s relationship has weathered years of public drama. From cheating allegations and cryptic social media posts to viral claims by blogger Gistlover, Desola has remained publicly loyal—even when netizens labeled her “a woman with low self-esteem.” Her response? Leaving a marriage over infidelity doesn’t guarantee fidelity in the next.
Afod’s interview wasn’t without controversy. He claimed women cheat just as much as men, but are more discreet—linking the rise in DNA testing to female infidelity. He also criticized the use of sex toys, equating them to idol worship, a statement that has since sparked backlash across social platforms.
Despite the polarizing remarks, Afod’s praise for Desola was clear. He acknowledged their marital challenges but described her as the best woman he’s ever known. Desola, in turn, has consistently defended her husband, even posting loved-up videos in response to online rumors.
Their marriage, once on the brink in 2022, has become a case study in public resilience. Whether viewed as loyalty or endurance, Desola’s stance continues to divide opinion—but for Kunle Afod, her presence remains non-negotiable.
