Why I’m Hiding My Children’s Faces – Actress Funke Akindele Finally Reveals

Celebrated Nollywood actress and producer, Funke Akindele Bello has finally revealed the reason why she has been hiding the faces of her twins.

The couple, Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz welcomed their first child together, a set of twins in 2018. However, the couple has not shown the faces of their children since they were born. The two have been extra cautious about revealing the faces of their children.

In most of the pictures they’ve shared online, the backs of the children were shown. Speaking in an interview with Jide Okonjo, the actress said her husband and herself are public figures by choice and find it right to save the children from all the attention that fame brings.

“I keep my family private? Ah ah, you see my house na. Don’t you see my home? Don’t you know my husband? Don’t you see the back of my children? How is that one private? Ah ah. It’s not private oh, you see everything.

Okay, the children’s face, is that what you’re trying to say? No. When they’re old enough, they should show their face. If they want to, they should show their face. But for now, I don’t want them to show their face.

I want them to have their life, and enjoy it. Their dad and I are already in the public eye. Their children don’t forget. They are children. They’re vulnerable so you have to just keep them away, keep them safe. Let them go to school, let them enjoy their life without “Ah! That’s Jenifa’s son. That’s JJC’s son. Ah see his leg, see his face.” Leave them private!

When asked to list out 3 things fans do not know about her, Funke said:

Three things my fans don’t know about me? I don’t like to go out. I love my space. I love to work so if I’m not working, I’m sleeping, I’m watching TV series, I’m playing with my children, chit-chatting with the family. I’m not really an outgoing kind of person but once in a while I try to go out.

Second thing: I don’t like to eat meat. I like to eat the bone. If you give me goat meat or chicken, it’s too flashy. I just take small of the flesh.

Then the third one? Ha. I think they know everything oh!”
