Gifty Afriyie, wife of Ghanaian actor and comedian Oteele, has announced that she has forgiven him and plans to return home following their separation over a leaked video involving the actor and another woman.

Speaking during a TikTok Live session with Oteele on September 15, 2026, she said she still loves her husband and acknowledged the difficulties he has faced since the video became public.

According to her, despite the mistakes Oteele has made, she believes he has gone through enough over the controversy and hopes the experience will bring about a positive change in his life.

“You’ve gone through a lot. I still love you. I understand we’re human and we make mistakes. If not for anything, what a man who has offended his wife would do is what you’ve done,” she said.
