Actress Abiola Adebayo Announces Separation From Husband On His Birthday

Nollywood actress Abiola Adebayo has confirmed that she and her husband, Oluwaseyi Akinrinde, quietly went their separate ways over a year ago.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, June 3, Abiola Adebayo revealed that although they are no longer together, they remain committed to raising their son together as co-parents.

In the post, the actress wished her ex-husband a happy birthday and used the moment to publicly acknowledge their breakup, which happened back in April 2024.

Adebayo, who expressed her regret to fans who may feel let down by the news, opened up about how emotionally draining the past year has been, despite putting on a brave face.

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!” she added, marking her first public disclosure of the breakup. “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 during 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.”

Her followers quickly flooded the comment section with kind words, support, and admiration for her honesty and strength. Many praised her for handling the situation with such grace and maturity.
