“My Pillow Has Been Drenched with Tears”: Actress Abiola Adebayo Confirms Separation from Husband
Popular Nigerian actress and filmmaker Abiola Adebayo has publicly confirmed her separation from husband Oluwaseyi Akinrinde, marking the end of their three-year marriage.
The actress, known for her roles in Jade’s Cross and Tori Owo, shared the news on Instagram on Wednesday, revealing that the couple had gone their separate ways in April 2024, a year after welcoming their son via surrogacy.
In a heartfelt birthday message to her now ex-husband, 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 to light your path and bless you beyond your expectations in Jesus’ name.”
She then confirmed the split, 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.”
Adebayo, who also anchors the podcast Talk To B, issued an apology to fans and well-wishers who may be disheartened by the news:
“Please keep us in your prayers. While I go about making other people happy during the day, my pillow is drenched with my tears almost every night for the past 14 months, but I gain strength from Christ, who loves me eternally and gave himself for me.”
Expressing her disappointment over the breakdown of the marriage, she added: “It’s better to stay alive to tell the story.”
The actress also used the opportunity to advocate for kindness, reminding followers that everyone is fighting battles unseen:
“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.”
In a previously posted YouTube video dated 30 May 2023, Adebayo opened up about her relationship, revealing that her courtship with Akinrinde was brief. She also noted that she had prayed for a Christian partner who lived in Nigeria and had no intentions of relocating abroad. Read More
