Popular Nollywood actress, Biola Bayo, has confirmed her separation from her husband, Oluseyi, revealing that the pair have been apart since April 2024.
The actress made the disclosure in an emotional Instagram post on Tuesday, which also coincided with her birthday. In the post, she extended birthday wishes to her estranged husband, referring to him as her “ex-husband and baby daddy.”
“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.
Bayo went on to officially confirm the status of her marriage, stating: “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.”
The actress expressed regret that the marriage did not succeed and offered an apology to her fans and supporters.
“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,” she added.
Reflecting on the emotional toll the past year has taken on her, Bayo shared: “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.”
She urged the public to show kindness, noting that people often endure silent struggles: “Let’s learn to be kind to people, you have no idea what others are going through until they say it.”
