Setting the Record Straight: Toke Makinwa and Farouk Umar Are Not Getting Married

Rumors have been circulating that popular Nollywood actress and media personality, Toke Makinwa, is secretly tying the knot with her longtime partner, Farouk Umar. The news broke out after photos of the couple at an event surfaced on social media, with many speculating that it was their wedding ceremony. However, fellow actress and media personality, Dorcas Shola Fapson, aka Ms DSF, has come forward to clarify the situation.

Ms DSF initially fueled the rumors by hinting on social media that Makinwa and Umar were indeed getting married. However, in a video message shared on her social media page, she quickly put the rumors to rest, stating that her earlier claim was just a joke. According to Ms DSF, the event was not a marriage ceremony but rather a "thanksgiving" celebration ahead of Makinwa’s birthday.

In the video, Ms DSF is seen saying, "Bloggers please, I’m just joking. They [Toke Makinwa and Farouk Umar] are not getting married. Toke is just doing thanksgiving for her birthday." She captioned the video, "I play too much and bloggers eat sh*t too fast," poking fun at the speed at which the rumors spread.

Toke Makinwa has been in the public eye before, particularly regarding her marriage to businessman Maje Ayida. The two got married in 2014, but unfortunately, their marriage ended in divorce in 2017. Despite the rumors surrounding her personal life, Makinwa remains a beloved figure in the entertainment industry.

For now, it seems that Makinwa and Umar are not taking the next step in their relationship. Instead, they are simply enjoying each other’s company and celebrating life’s milestones together. As the entertainment industry continues to be filled with rumors and speculation, it’s refreshing to see celebrities like Ms DSF and Makinwa set the record straight and give their fans a glimpse into their personal lives.
