Pastor Toluwani Odukoya, daughter of the late Pastors Bimbo and Taiwo Odukoya, has publicly confirmed the end of her marriage after weeks of speculation from followers and members of her ministry.
Speaking on her podcast, Truth Table With Toluwani, Pastor Tolu described the experience as deeply painful and compared the end of her marriage to a death.
“Most people don’t know that my husband and I have separated due to circumstances beyond my control,” she revealed. “You don’t get into a marriage to leave a marriage. When your marriage is over, it is like a death.”
Her comments bring closure to months of quiet rumours about her personal life, especially among members of The Fountain of Life Church and social media followers who have closely followed her ministry and family journey.
Pastor Tolu also shared that the separation was just one of several personal losses she experienced between 2021 and 2023.
“I have experienced a couple of deaths: the death of my marriage, my stepmom, my dad, and my dad’s twin sister. All these happened within 24 months,” she said.
Despite the emotional toll, she maintained a respectful tone toward her former spouse, describing him as a “great man.” She explained that while love and effort are important, not all marriages are divinely ordained to last.
“Sometimes, two people may not be meant to remain together no matter how much love or effort is involved,” she added.
Since the podcast episode aired, there has been an outpouring of sympathy and support for the young pastor online. Many praised her honesty and courage for speaking openly about such a personal and painful topic.
Pastor Tolu comes from a well-known Christian family. Her mother, Pastor Bimbo Odukoya, was a beloved speaker and relationship coach before her death in 2005. Her father, Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, passed away in 2023.
