Today marks the 19th year remembrance of the late Jaiye Kuti, who was Stella Damasus’ second husband.
Stella took to her Instagram page to cherish the memories of her late husband, expressing her deep love and admiration for him. She lovingly referred to him by several endearing names, acknowledging his pivotal role as the father of her children and the beating of her heart.
She shared how she felt as though her heart stopped when she lost him, but she found the strength to carry on for the sake of their daughters. Stella confessed that she still misses Jaiye, yet she remains strong, imbued with the resilience he instilled in her.
Describing Jaiye as her lifetime lover and guardian angel, she vowed to never forget him. She also expressed the enduring difficulty of coping with his absence as each year passes, but she holds onto the hope of reuniting with him once more.
Sharing a heartfelt message, she said, “19 years gone. My JAY, My Jaibad, my teddy bear, my lover, my king, husband of my youth, my knight in shining armor, my gist partner, my teacher, my padi, my heartbeat, father of my children. My heart literally stopped when I lost you. But it had to start beating again for the sake of the girls. We all miss you so much but we are strong just like you taught us to be. You are my angel. My lover forever. You will never be forgotten. NEVER. It doesn’t get any easier with each passing year, but I am holding on to the promise that we will meet again to part no more. I love you forever my lover.”
It is evident that Stella continues to cherish the memory of Jaiye Aboderin. Last year, she posted a touching tribute to him, sharing a video collage that depicted their love-filled life and expressing her heartfelt emotions about him.
She nostalgically recalled their moments of laughter, play, and companionship, acknowledging the profound impact of his presence and teachings on her life, especially in the realm of true love.
Following Jaiye Aboderin’s passing, Stella moved on to marry Daniel Ademinokan, her colleague’s husband. However, their marriage was short-lived, and they parted ways in 2020. Ademinokan relocated to another state in the United States of America, where the couple had lived.
Reflecting on their divorce, Stella divulged that she initially believed she had found her soulmate, someone with whom she could share a similar mindset and bond closely. However, she ultimately faced unexpected challenges.
In light of her experiences, Stella imparted advice to women, urging them to heed red flags and avoid rushing into marriage.
