Iyabo Ojo Applauded for Graceful Reunion with Ex-Husband at Daughter’s Traditional Wedding

Nollywood star and businesswoman Iyabo Ojo has earned widespread praise from Nigerians after her composed and dignified reunion with her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, during their daughter Priscilla Ojo’s traditional wedding to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.

A now-viral video circulating on social media captured the former couple sitting peacefully side by side as they prepared to officially give their daughter’s hand in marriage. The calm and respectful display between Iyabo and Ademidun has struck a chord with many online, with people lauding the actress for her emotional maturity and commitment to positive co-parenting.

Social media has been flooded with supportive comments. One user expressed, “You did well, Queen Mother,” while another noted, “She changed the narrative. That’s how it’s done.” Many hailed Iyabo’s ability to rise above personal history for the sake of her daughter’s happiness.

The moment is particularly powerful given past rumors of tension between the ex-spouses. Ademidun’s absence from earlier events like Priscilla’s introduction and Nikah ceremony in Tanzania had fueled speculation. His presence at the traditional wedding, however, suggested a turning point—one of reconciliation and renewed family unity.

Iyabo has never shied away from discussing the realities of single motherhood. She has candidly shared the hardships she endured raising her children, Festus and Priscilla, alone. In a past interview, she revealed that her children didn’t even know she was divorced until Priscilla turned 15. The bride herself has been open about her “daddy issues” growing up and has often credited her mother for filling both parental roles with unwavering love and strength.

Iyabo’s marriage to Ademidun ended not long after their children were born—a chapter she once referred to as an “adventure,” filled with tough lessons in resilience, love, and personal development.

Her calm presence at the wedding didn’t just reflect personal growth—it also offered a fresh perspective on co-parenting and life after divorce. In choosing grace over bitterness, Iyabo Ojo has once again inspired the public—not through her movies, but through her role as a strong, compassionate mother who leads with love.
