Social media is abuzz with reactions to a heartwarming video from the star-studded traditional wedding of Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla Ojo, and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.
The viral clip shows a joyful moment as Iyabo’s son, Festus Ojo, danced gleefully and shared an emotional hug with his mother’s partner, Paulo Okoye — a scene that has sparked widespread conversation online.
The glamorous #JP2025 wedding ceremony drew a host of top celebrities, influencers, and dignitaries. Also in attendance was Iyabo Ojo’s ex-husband and the father of Priscilla and Festus, Ademidun Ojo.
During the traditional rites, Ademidun Ojo was seen seated beside Iyabo Ojo as they proudly handed over their daughter, Priscilla, to her groom, Juma Jux, in a stunning Yoruba wedding ceremony that beautifully blended culture and elegance.
In the video, Iyabo Ojo and her partner, Paulo Okoye, appeared to be thoroughly enjoying the celebration — dancing, laughing, and sharing joyful moments that offered fans a touching glimpse into their strong bond and affection.
However, what truly captured the attention of many online wasn’t just the glamorous outfits or the celebrity-studded guest list — it was the undeniable bond between Festus Ojo and his stepfather, Paulo Okoye, during the reception.
In a now-viral video titled “Family,” Festus is seen dancing with pure joy alongside Paulo before pulling him into a warm, heartfelt hug. The touching moment melted hearts across social media, with many praising the deep father-son connection they share, despite Paulo not being his biological father.
The video stirred emotional reactions from fans — some applauded Paulo for nurturing such a meaningful relationship with Iyabo’s children, while others couldn’t help but point out the noticeable distance between Festus and his biological father, who was also present at the event.
