Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has revealed that she and her husband have gone their separate ways, referring to him as her ‘ex-husband and baby daddy’ in an emotional birthday message shared on social media.
Bayo disclosed that their separation became official in April 2024, but they chose to keep it private to focus on co-parenting their son with mutual respect and maturity.
In her post, she offered heartfelt prayers for his peace, grace, and abundant blessings, while reaffirming their shared commitment to raising their son in a loving and supportive 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”.
