Funke Akindele Takes Fans by Surprise as She Holidays in France With Ex-Husband JJC Skillz

Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has caught the attention of fans after travelling to France with her former husband, Abdulrasheed Bello, popularly known as JJC Skillz.

 

The actress is currently spending time in France with JJC Skillz and their twin sons. Videos from the family holiday have since surfaced online.

 

According to Daily Post, JJC Skillz shared clips from their time together on Snapchat. One of the videos showed the former couple with their children at a shopping centre.

 

He described the outing as “Family time.” The simple caption quickly drew attention from fans. Many were surprised to see Funke and JJC Skillz enjoying a holiday together after their marriage ended.

 

Another video captured a playful exchange between the former couple. JJC Skillz asked Funke if they were going to play games. The actress responded enthusiastically, showing a relaxed side of their family outing.

 

The family also visited the Eiffel Tower in Paris. Funke later shared another clip from a PlayStation section at what appeared to be a shopping mall.

The holiday has renewed public interest in the relationship between the two celebrities. Their latest outing comes years after they went their separate ways.

Funke and JJC Skillz got married in London in 2016. Their marriage attracted considerable attention within the Nigerian entertainment industry. The couple later welcomed twin boys.

 

Their children have remained a major part of their lives since their separation. However, the marriage eventually came to an end. In 2022, JJC Skillz confirmed that he and Funke had separated.

 

At the time, he said their decision followed irreconcilable differences. The announcement ended years of speculation about challenges within their marriage. Despite the separation, the former couple have continued to co-parent their children. They have also occasionally been seen together at public events.

 

Their latest family holiday has therefore generated questions about their current relationship. Some fans have interpreted the trip as a possible sign of reconciliation. However, there has been no confirmation from either Funke or JJC Skillz that they have rekindled their romance.

 

The videos shared online also do not establish that the former couple are back together. They instead show them spending time with their children as a family. This distinction has not stopped social media users from reacting to the unexpected reunion.

 

Funke and JJC Skillz have both built successful careers in the entertainment industry. Funke remains one of Nollywood’s most prominent actresses and filmmakers. JJC Skillz, meanwhile, has continued his work in music and filmmaking. Their professional paths have remained active since their separation.

 

Their ability to spend time together despite their past relationship has also highlighted the realities of co-parenting after divorce. For now, their trip appears to be centred on family and creating memories with their sons.

 

The France holiday has nevertheless given fans a rare glimpse into their family life. It has also placed the former couple back in the spotlight. Whether the trip represents a closer relationship between Funke and JJC Skillz remains unknown.

 

What is clear is that the former couple are comfortable enough to share family moments together. Their latest outing in France has provided another reminder that their relationship as parents continues beyond the end of their marriage.
