Nollywood actress, Iyabo Ojo, and her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, stirred mixed emotions online as they reunited and stepped out in matching outfits for their daughter, Priscilla Ojo’s traditional wedding ceremony in Lagos.
The star-studded event, which held on Thursday, marked the traditional union between Priscilla and her Tanzanian lover, just two months after their Islamic wedding ceremony held in Tanzania. While the Tanzanian celebration was filled with joy and culture, the absence of Priscilla’s father at that ceremony had sparked a wave of online speculations and criticisms.
At the time, netizens accused Priscilla and and her mother of allegedly sidelining Ademidun, leading to rumors of a strained father-daughter relationship. Social media was awash with heated debates, with some expressing disappointment over what they perceived as disrespect to the father of the bride.
However, Priscilla swiftly responded to the backlash, clarifying that her father had been present at the Tanzanian ceremony, albeit virtually. According to her, he joined via a video call, contrary to the claims that he was deliberately excluded.
All doubts were finally laid to rest when a now-viral video surfaced online showing Iyabo and Ademidun dancing joyfully together at the Lagos ceremony. The clip, which has since captured the attention of fans and media outlets alike, shows the once estranged couple letting loose and celebrating their daughter’s big day in harmony.
Their coordinated attire and cheerful mood have left many netizens pleasantly surprised, with some praising their maturity and willingness to put differences aside for their daughter’s happiness. Others, however, still speculated about the true state of their relationship behind the scenes.
Regardless of public opinions, the beautiful display of unity between Iyabo Ojo and Ademidun served as a touching moment at Priscilla’s traditional wedding, reminding many that when it comes to love and family, peace can always find its way back.
