Mr. Latin married Ronke in 1999 and their relationship has continued to develop over the years.

Timi Dakolo
6. Timi Dakolo: Timi Dakolo is married to a photographer, Busola, and they are blessed with three children, Alexander, Zoe and Hallel. Their marriage has had its fair share of lawsuits, most notably in 2019 when Busola accused a popular Nigerian pastor, Biodun Fatoyinbo, of raping her in Kwara State many years ago.
Lately, many of her social media posts have suggested that Busola and the children have moved to the UK.
While Bukola is said to be attending a university in the UK for further education, the children are said to have started school there as well.
Earlier this year, Timi Dakolo joked that his daughter Hallel had developed an accent barely two weeks after returning to school in her new country of residence.
