There had been counter-reports on the issue in the past few days, with the actress herself even denying the report, which first surfaced on Facebook, threatening to sue a newspaper company.
Meanwhile, the actress and Glo Ambassador, is now on a film location in Enugu.
Mrs. Ayo Mohammed, confirmed this to Saturday Tribune. She said Funke had moved on with her life despite all the negative reports about her marriage.
“She is presently in Enugu on a location,” she said.
