Veteran Nigerian media personality Kikelomo Abati, wife of renowned journalist and television anchor Dr. Reuben Abati, has shared a deeply personal account of her relationship journey.
In a heartfelt interview on The Morayo Show, Mrs. Abati recounted how her first marriage abruptly ended when she discovered her husband was gay. Her second marriage, she said, was troubled by abuse and infidelity.
“For a woman who have divorced twice, first I married a gay person without me knowing… the second one was the biggest philandering and abuser,” she said, noting that those chapters, though difficult, shaped her growth and resilience.
Mrs. Abati is a media host, author and consultant, well-known for her talk show RealTalkWithKike, which airs live on Inspiration FM and Silverbird TV.
Her candid reflections come against the backdrop of her marriage to Dr. Reuben Abati — a towering figure in Nigerian journalism and public commentary.
The union between Mrs. Abati and Dr. Abati has become a story of second chances and enduring partnership — both having experienced past marriages before finding stability and mutual support in each other.
Kike and Abati reflected their journey which underscores the complexity of relationships and the possibility of happiness after hardship.
