Although star actress, Mercy
Aigbe, is going through a rough patch in her marriage, it did not stop her
estranged husband, Lanre Gentry, from wishing her a happy birthday via his
Instagram handle.
He said in the post, “Today, you
are @40. Even though we are fighting I still say happy birthday to you because
you are still my wife and my children mother as I use to call you ones again
happy birthday to you Mercy Aigbe Gentry. Long life and God bless you (sic).”
His post excited some of the
actress’ fans as they speculated that the couple could get back together this
year.
The actress further fuelled the
speculation when she began to follow her estranged husband on Instagram again.
Despite the birthday wish, her husband’s absence at her birthday party was
conspicuous.
In a chat with Saturday Beats,
Gentry revealed why he was absent at his wife’s 40th birthday party especially
at a time people felt they were making reconciliatory moves.
“The main reason I was not at her
birthday party was that I was not in
Nigeria on that day. I travelled to Dubai and I returned on Wednesday. Despite
the fact that I was not in the country, I bought her a birthday cake and other
gifts I would not want to mention because it is an issue between husband and
wife,” he said.
While reacting to the news that
his wife has started following him on Instagram again, Gentry, said he did not
notice when she ‘unfollowed’ him on the micro-blogging site in the first place
on account of his numerous followers. He also insisted that he had no problem
with his wife.
He said, “Mercy and I are not
fighting. We talk every day. I know that
in the birthday wish I sent to her via Instagram, I wrote that we are still
fighting but what I actually meant was not a real fight but the normal lovers’
quarrel. I am a very peaceful person and I don’t like fighting, most times, I
compare myself to water which has no enemy.
“Mercy follows me on Instagram,
so, I was surprised that the news went round that she is following me again. If
she had ‘unfollowed’ me before, there was no way I would have noticed because I
have a lot of followers on Instagram.”
