Maje Ayida, renowned fitness and wellness entrepreneur and ex-husband of Nigerian media personality Toke Makinwa, has broken his silence on their highly publicized divorce.
In a recent interview, Ayida revealed that the end of their marriage left him battling depression for over a year.
Reflecting on that painful season, he shared:
“I went through a divorce, which resulted in me being depressed. It was a very publicised divorce. I withdrew from society, I was really ashamed of my situation. I was ashamed of what I felt I had done to my family’s name. As a result, I went into hiding.”
His candid revelation has sparked discussions online about mental health, shame, and healing after divorce — especially for men in the public eye.
Maje Ayida’s story is a reminder of the emotional toll of breakups and the importance of seeking support during tough times.
