Popular Yoruba Nollywood actress Biola Adebayo and her husband, Oluwaseyi Akinrinde, have gone their separate ways.
Revealing this via an Instagram post on Tuesday, she shed more light on about their breakup, which she said happened over a year ago. This marks the first time she has publicly shared details about their split.
The actress used the occasion of Akinrinde’s birthday to wish him well while confirming that they are no longer together. “Happy birthday to my ex-husband and my baby daddy. I pray that grace will abound unto you, I pray you find peace in all your ways. May God continue to light your path and bless you beyond your expectations, in Jesus’ name,” she wrote.
Following that, she made it clear to fans: “Yes, you heard me right! My husband and I have been separated since April last year, but we have decided to maturely and peacefully co-parent our dear son, who means everything to us.”
She also shared a personal message for her followers. “To everyone that feels disappointed, I’m sincerely sorry. I wished it worked, but it’s better to stay alive to tell the story. Please keep us in your prayers.”
Biola notes that the journey has not been easy. She said that while she appears happy during the day, she often cries at night. “While I go about making other people happy during the day, my pillow is drenched with my own tears almost every night for the past 14 months,” she confessed. “But I gain strength from Christ, who loves me eternally and gave Himself for me.”
