Mabel Makun, the estranged wife of comedian AY Makun, has confirmed their separation following weeks of speculation and rumors about their marriage.
In an Instagram post on April 10, 2024, Mabel thanked her fans for their support and clarified that her silence regarding their marital issues was to maintain privacy and respect for her ex-husband and their children.
“I want to express my sincere gratitude for the supportive messages that I have received from everyone. However, my silence should not be misunderstood, and also the father of my children whom I have been with for some years deserves a certain level of respect and privacy from me and all the concerned parties,” she wrote.
Addressing the rumors circulating on social media, Mabel stated, “Many lies have been peddled against me and attacks orchestrated on the social media space, but I will honor my kids with my silence and not address any of these lies.”
She continued, “Although my dreams of a lifelong marriage have taken a different direction now, I’m committed to moving forward with grace and resilience. I have faith in a brighter future for both myself and the children.”
Asking for privacy and understanding during this challenging time, Mabel emphasized the importance of prioritizing her children’s mental health and well-being.
AY also posted on Instagram, writing, “This too shall pass,” acknowledging the difficult period they are going through.
The couple, who got married in 2008 and have two daughters, have been facing challenges in their marriage. AY recently spoke about their marriage being on the rocks, noting the complexity of assigning blame in such situations.
As they navigate this new chapter in their lives, Mabel and AY are asking for respect, understanding, and privacy from the public.
