His Imperial Majesty, Oba Adeyeye Enitan Ogunwusi, Ooni of Ife, has married his fourth wife, Princess Ashley Adegoke.
The monarch married Princess Ashley, who lives in the United Kingdom, on Friday, October 14, at the bride’s family home on Olubose Street, along Ede Road, IIe-Ife.
Princess Ashley would be the King’s fourth wife, as he already has three wives, all of whom he married within two months of each other.
On October 9, Ooni married Tobi Phillips as his third wife, just weeks after marrying Olori Mariam Anako and Olori Elizabeth Opeoluwa Ogunwusi.
According to reports, the Yoruba monarch was not present at his wedding ceremony to Queen Ashley , but his chiefs, royal guards, and royal staff of office were.
However, this is the Ooni’s seventh marriage. Oba Adeyeye was previously married to Adebukola Bombata in 2008 before his coronation in 2016, but the marriage ended after his coronation.
Ooni married Edo-born Zainab-Otiti Obanor in 2016 after being crowned; their marriage lasted 17 months before they divorced. In 2018, he married Naomi Silekunola.
His marriage to Queen Silenkuola lasted only three years before she announced her divorce in December 2021.
