Popular media personality and actress Toke Makinwa has set social media abuzz after revealing she is open to becoming a second, third, or even fifth wife, as long as it brings her the companionship she desires.
Speaking candidly on a recent episode of her podcast ‘Toke Moments’, the 40-year-old broadcaster and fashion icon admitted that the burdens of independence sometimes leave her longing for a partner who can share life’s daily decisions.
“I am the boss everywhere and that could be tiring,” Makinwa confessed, saying “You feel like you need someone to lean on. Someone that could decide what is for dinner. Must it be me?”
Makinwa, who was previously married to fitness expert Maje Ayida before their highly publicized split in 2017, reflected on the pressures that come with professional success.
While she cherishes her autonomy, she admitted that the constant weight of decision-making can be overwhelming.
Her openness to polygamy marks a bold departure from conventional narratives about relationships, sparking widespread discussions about love, independence, and evolving family structures in modern society.
Fans and critics alike have flooded online platforms with varied reactions, with some applauding her honesty and others debating the complexities of polygamous unions.
As always, Makinwa’s fearless approach to sensitive topics continues to position her as a leading voice in conversations about personal choices and societal expectations.
Would you like me to also draft a follow-up opinion piece or an audience reaction roundup to complement this story? It would work great as part of a full feature package.
