Nigerian interior designer and ex-wife of comedian Ayo Makun, Mabel Makun, is expressing pride in their daughter, Ayomide Makun.
The mother of two had flown to the UK to attend her daughter’s Queen’s Speech Day.
Speech Day at Queen’s College, Taunton (“Tatoun”) is the school’s major end-of-year celebration held in July. It features prizegiving, inspirational guest speakers (such as inventor Richard Browning), student farewells, and art exhibitions, culminating in a special family lunch and reception.
Sharing a video from the event, she congratulated Michelle, noting how she went from A levels to new levels.
The proud mother expressed pride in her.
“03:07:26 Queen’s College Taunton. Congratulations, Michelle, from A levels to new levels; we are proud of you”.
Last month, Ayo and his estranged wife, Mabel, had reunited for their second daughter’s preschool graduation. Mabel, while sharing photos of herself and her daughter at her graduation ceremony, expressed pride in her.
Ayo, on his part, wrote an epistle, recalling his journey with his daughter. He told her to keep shining, dreaming, and making them proud.
Earlier this year, the former couple had reunited at their second daughter’s school to celebrate her birthday. AY shared a video of himself in school for his daughter’s birthday. Surprisingly, his ex-wife, Mabel, was there, and for the first time since their separation, AY included her in his video.
Recall that in April, 2023, AY confirmed the end of his almost 20-year relationship with Mabel, expressing regrets for losing his home, and also admitted to doing things that were compromising during the marriage. He warned against projecting the wrong narrative about him and his family, which he found harmful to his teenage daughter, and hinted at the possible fault from his wife.
Mabel also broke her silence, stating that her dreams of a lifelong marriage had now taken a different direction and pleaded with the media and public to give them privacy as they navigate their new phase. She noted how many lies have been peddled against her, but she will honour her kids by not addressing them.
Blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus alleged that Mabel had denied AY all access to his second daughter, Ayomide which the comedian confirmed in his birthday message to her in 2024.
