Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has received a wave of praise from social media users for her show of maturity as she reunited with her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, for the traditional wedding of their daughter, Priscilla Ojo, to Tanzanian singer Juma Jux.
In a trending video, Iyabo and her former spouse were seen seated side by side, calmly waiting to give their daughter’s hand in marriage.
The reunion stirred admiration online, with many commending Iyabo for setting a positive example of co-parenting and maturity.
Comments flooded in with users hailing her decision to put aside past differences for the happiness of their daughter.
“You did well, Queen Mother,” one user wrote, while another added, “She has changed the narrative. Well done.”
The celebration marks a turning point in their family affairs, especially after the actor’s ex-husband’s absence during Priscilla’s earlier introduction and Nikah ceremony in Tanzania, which stirred speculation over their strained relationship.
Iyabo Ojo has been open about her journey as a single mother. In past interviews, she revealed that her children, Festus and Priscilla, did not know about her divorce until Priscilla turned 15. Priscilla has also spoken publicly about dealing with “daddy issues” growing up but credits her mother for stepping in and filling the emotional gap.
Iyabo’s marriage to Ademidun Ojo ended shortly after the birth of their two children. Reflecting on that chapter, she once described it as an “adventure,” sharing that it introduced her to a life of hardship and emotional lessons.
