Nollywood Actor, Femi Brainard in baby mama scandal

Having children outside wedlock is not what is new to
Nigerian celebrities who many young ones look up to as role
models. Such scenarios are usually kept as secrets from
members of the press most of the times.
Only recently there were reports alleging that D’Banj and
Wande Coal had children outside wedlock, which sources said
was only known to a few family members and associates.
Segun Arinze was once alleged to have had a love child, who
he kept away from the media. He was even alleged to have
abandoned the babymama.
For delectable Nollywood actor, Femi Brainard, thinking he
would have a baby outside wedlock might be difficult to
believe due to the kind of positive image the actor has. He is
loved for the way he delivers his characters.
On and off the scene, Femi Brainard is regarded as a very
responsible actor who has managed to live without scandal.
But present information reaching First Weekly may have
proven that he may have only tried to keep some dirty secrets
away from the public and the prying eyes of journalists.
The actor, married to a Top Radio FM presenter, is allegedly
has a love child, who we gathered he abandoned, along with
the mother of the child.
First Weekly reliably gathered from
a source that Femi put a young
lady identified as Funmi Akinyele
in the family way late 2008 and the lady eventually gave birth
to a bouncing baby girl in 2009. The handsome actor,
according to further information revealed to us, allegedly
abandoned the beautiful baby since the day she was born, as
the actor reportedly didn’t show up at the child’s christening
held in Abeokuta, Ogun State in 2009 and afterwards.
It was squealed to us that the relationship between Femi and
the 30-year-old lady started in 2007 after they both met on a
movie set, Korede Ke’, sometime in 2006. Soon, they both
became live-in-lovers at Femi’s Mende, Maryland, Lagos-
home.
First Weekly learnt that Funmi became pregnant for Femi in
September 2008 and gave birth to the actor’s alleged love
child, Tolani, in June 2009, in Abeokuta, Ogun State, where the
alleged babymama had relocated to in November 2008.
Our source further hinted that Femi failed to show up during
the child’s christening, and that his parents were initially not
aware of the whole scenario until Funmi travelled to Lagos to
meet them when her pregnancy clocked seven months.
Femi had allegedly told Funmi that his parents were aware of
the pregnancy only for Funmi to find out that it was all lies as
Femi’s parents were surprised to discover that she was
pregnant for their son, when they saw her. However, Femi later
reportedly confirmed to his dad that he is responsible for
Funmi’s pregnancy.
When contacted by First Weekly to confirm the story, Femi
didn’t deny it, but laughed and said, “it is an old story.”
However, minutes after dropping the call, he sent us a text
message to appreciate our efforts to reach him before
publishing the story, but reiterated his earlier ‘it is an old
story’ claim.
