Mabel Makun’s Quiet Grief: A 40th Birthday Tribute to Her Late Mother
Mabel Makun marked her 40th birthday with an emotional video tribute to her late mother. Dressed in gold alongside her daughters, she honoured the bond they shared and the celebration they had planned together. She revealed that they were to shoot a special session for her mother’s 70th birthday later this year. Though her mum did not live to see it, Mabel said grief doesn’t announce itself—it simply sits beside you on life’s biggest days, heavy and silent. Friends including Phyna and Waje flooded the post with birthday wishes. Earlier reports noted that Mrs Rose Temietan Eyesan Nwanegbu was laid to rest in Lagos, with support from close friends and industry figures, but noticeably absent was Mabel’s estranged husband, comedian Ayo Makun. Last year, Mabel reflected on building her interior design brand from scratch and thanked God for her strength. She and AY confirmed their separation in 2023, each asking for privacy as they navigate new paths while protecting their children from public scrutiny.
