Following a failed first marriage and the ensuing drama, Nollywood actor Yomi Gold marries a younger woman.
The actor married Ameenat, who was dressed as a Moslem bride, after dumping his almost 15-year-old marriage, which had produced two children.
Yomi and his first wife were at odds in 2018, as you may recall.
His wife then accused him of abandoning her and their two children in order to pursue a rising actress named Ameenat.

In a 2018 interview with PUNCH, Yomi stated that walking out of a marriage is preferable to making a mess of it.
“Of what good would it be to people if they can’t allow me to be the ‘driver’ of my own car (sic)? Why should they behave like they are perfect? Anything can happen. The society is quick to judge when they are not the one wearing the shoes. I decided not to talk about it because I own my life. The most important thing is for me is to be alive. If anything bad should happen, I would be on my own. I don’t owe anybody an explanation; I just want to live my life. As time goes on, people will see for themselves.” He said.
He continued, “Leaving a marriage that is not working is more honourable than making a mess of it. If people know what really happened I don’t know what they would be saying. I don’t need it for publicity; I am a very shy person and a gentleman. I know I am a good man. I don’t think I need to go on social media to talk about anything.”
Yomi and his new bride recently married, and he posted a video on Instagram to commemorate the occasion.
