The Star recalls that Ooni, in October 2022, married his fifth wife, Temitope Adesegun Ogunwusi.

The marriage came barely a few days after Ooni married his fourth wife, Princess Aderonke Ademiluyi, who hails from a royal family, in Ile-Ife, Osun State.

The traditional ruler had earlier married Mariam Anako from Kogi State and Ashley Adegoke, who hails from Lafogido royal house in Ile-Ife.

The other wife of the traditional ruler includes Tobi Phillips.

The monarch had earlier married Adebukola Bombata in 2008 but the marriage failed.

He later married Edo-born Zainab-Otiti Obanor in 2016 but the union lasted for 17 months before their separation.

Ooni also married Silekunola Naomi in 2018 but the marriage ended in December 2021.
