Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has announced her separation from her husband, referring to him as her “ex-husband and baby daddy” in a heartfelt birthday tribute shared on social media.
Bayo revealed that they officially parted ways in April 2024 but chose to keep the development private while focusing on co-parenting their son with mutual respect and maturity.
In her message, the actress offered prayers for his peace, grace, and abundant blessings, emphasising their continued commitment to raising their son in a loving and harmonious environment.
Addressing her fans, Bayo expressed regret for the disappointment the news may cause, admitting that while she had hoped the marriage would endure, it was ultimately not possible.
She, however, expressed gratitude for life and strength.
Opening up about her emotional struggles, the actress shared that she endured silent pain and cried through most nights for 14 months, relying on her faith in Christ to persevere through the ordeal.
She 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 to 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 who feels disappointed, I’m sincerely sorry, I wish 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”.
Biola Bayo tied the knot with Oluseyi on the 27th of April, 2021.
