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

Funke Akindele Bello, a celebrated Nollywood actress and producer, has finally disclosed why she has been hiding the faces of her twins.

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

The backs of the youngsters were visible in the majority of the photos they published online. In an interview with Jide Okonjo, the actress stated that her husband and she are public personalities by choice and believe it is right to protect the children from 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!”
