Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo has received an outpouring of praise online after appearing in matching traditional outfits with her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, at their daughter Priscilla Ojo’s wedding ceremony in Lagos.
The star-studded traditional event, held on Thursday, April 17, 2025, celebrated Priscilla’s union with her Tanzanian partner, Juma Jux. This came two months after their Islamic wedding held in Tanzania, which the bride’s father notably did not attend, sparking speculations of a rift within the family.
Amid online criticism over his absence, Priscilla clarified that her father had joined the Tanzanian ceremony virtually. However, a now-viral video from the Lagos celebration shows Iyabo Ojo and Ademidun dancing joyfully together, silencing the rumors and warming the hearts of fans.
The public appearance of the estranged couple in unity has triggered widespread admiration on social media, with many applauding Iyabo’s maturity and grace in handling a sensitive family dynamic.
Some of the reactions include:
- “Nice one, the father is there live and direct. Facebook bloggers come and see!” – @ifeoluwa.crown
- “She has changed the narrative. Well done @iyaboojofespris.” – @ayabamorayo
- “Iyabo Ojo is such a good example.” – @eyinju_olodumare22
- “You did well, Queen Mother.” – @simplyjibby
- “The woman don try walai. Give it to her!” – @sublimeafrica
Fans, often referred to as “online in-laws,” have celebrated the moment as a powerful example of co-parenting and emotional maturity, especially on such a significant day for their daughter.
Iyabo Ojo, who has been open about her journey as a single mother, continues to earn accolades for her ability to maintain peace and unity for the sake of family—proving once again why she’s affectionately called the “Queen Mother.”
