Popular Nollywood actress Wumi Toriola has ignited a buzz on social media by announcing her engagement to fellow actor Eso Dike. Taking to her Instagram page, she shared a photo of Eso Dike proposing to her, expressing her joy over the engagement and hinting at an upcoming wedding.
In the caption, Wumi Toriola wrote, “Awwn awwn ‘has finally reached my side….@eso.dike. Congratulations to me #esowum2024.” The post was met with enthusiastic congratulations from fellow actors and fans, including Warri Pikin, Jumoke Odetola, Jamiu Azeez, and others.
However, some skeptical comments surfaced, questioning the authenticity of the engagement. Despite the joyous occasion, Wumi Toriola faced comments expressing uncertainty about the reality of the announcement.
Earlier this year, Wumi Toriola confirmed the end of her marriage of three years to the father of her son. The separation was revealed through a TikTok video where she playfully chose the single status. She later disclosed walking away from a domestically violent and abusive relationship for her sanity’s sake.
In response, her ex-husband, in a leaked conversation, accused Wumi of violence, deceit, and betrayal, claiming their marriage was regrettable. Wumi Toriola, addressing the allegations, refuted them on Instagram, emphasizing that she had never been physically aggressive towards her in-laws.
Amidst past relationship turmoil, Wumi Toriola’s engagement announcement brings a new chapter to her personal life, generating a mix of joy, skepticism, and well-wishes from fans and colleagues.
