Popular Nollywood actress Biola Adebayo recently stunned fans by announcing her separation from her husband, Oluwaseyi Akinrinde, in a heartfelt Instagram post.
The couple had tied the knot on April 27, 2021, in a court wedding held at the Ikoyi Registry. In 2023, Biola brought joy to many Nigerians when she shared the news of their baby boy’s birth through surrogacy.
She had previously opened up about the emotional challenges they faced, including a failed IVF attempt and multiple unsuccessful surrogacy journeys, before finally welcoming their son.
In a recent Instagram post, Biola Adebayo revealed that she and her husband quietly went their separate ways in April 2024 and have since been co-parenting their son peacefully.
Although she chose not to disclose the reasons for the separation, she wished him well as he begins a new chapter in his life. Biola also opened up about enduring 14 months of silent pain, often crying herself to sleep, but found strength and comfort through her Christian faith and the love of Christ.
Actress Biola Adebayo wrote; “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 light your path and bless you beyond your expectations in Jesus name.
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.
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.
While I go about making other people happy in the day, my pillow is drenched with my own tears almost every night for the past 14 months but I gain strength from Christ who loves me eternally and gave himself for me.
Let’s learn to be kind to people, you have no idea what others are going through until they say it.
SAY UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS ALL IS WELL!
PEACE ✌️.”
