Iyabo Ojo Earns Applause for Display of Grace and Maturity as She Reunites with Ex-husband

 Nollywood actress and entrepreneur Iyabo Ojo has won the hearts of many Nigerians following her graceful reunion with her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, at their daughter Priscilla Ojo’s traditional wedding to Tanzanian music sensation, Juma Jux.

In a now-viral video making rounds on social media, Iyabo and her former partner were seen seated side by side, exuding calmness and composure as they prepared to formally give their daughter’s hand in marriage. The quiet yet powerful moment has since sparked a wave of admiration, with netizens commending the actress for her emotional maturity and for setting a sterling example of healthy co-parenting.

Thousands of positive comments poured in across various platforms, celebrating the actress's decision to rise above past grievances for the sake of her daughter’s joy. One user wrote, “You did well, Queen Mother,” while another remarked, “She changed the narrative. That’s how it’s done.”

The reunion holds special significance given past speculations about a strained relationship between the former couple—particularly following Ademidun’s noticeable absence during Priscilla’s earlier introduction and Nikah ceremony in Tanzania. His presence at the traditional wedding, however, seemed to mark a new chapter of unity and reconciliation in their family journey.

Iyabo Ojo has long been vocal about her experiences as a single mother, often sharing the challenges she faced while raising her two children, Festus and Priscilla, on her own. In a candid past interview, she revealed that her children were unaware of her divorce until Priscilla turned 15. The young bride herself has openly spoken about dealing with “daddy issues” during her formative years, expressing gratitude for her mother, who played both parental roles with strength and love.

Iyabo’s marriage to Ademidun Ojo ended shortly after the birth of their children, a period she once described as an “adventure”—one that tested her resilience and taught her invaluable lessons about life, love, and personal growth.

Her poise at the wedding has not only reshaped public perception of blended families and post-divorce dynamics but also reminded many of the power of healing, maturity, and putting children first. In the midst of celebration, Iyabo Ojo continues to inspire—this time, not through her acting, but through her strength as a mother and a woman willing to lead with love.
