In a heartwarming turn of events, actress Iyabo Ojo and her ex-husband Ademidun Ojo have drawn attention and praise after appearing in matching traditional attire at their daughter Priscilla Ojo’s wedding to her Tanzanian partner in Lagos.
The emotional ceremony, which is currently trending across social media, marks the second leg of the couple’s union—following an earlier Islamic wedding in Tanzania two months ago. However, that event sparked online speculation after Ademidun Ojo was notably absent, with some accusing the bride and her mother of intentionally sidelining the father of the bride.
Priscilla had responded by clarifying that her father was present—virtually—but the backlash still lingered.
That narrative quickly changed on Thursday when a video surfaced showing Iyabo Ojo and her ex-husband dancing joyfully together, putting on a united front in celebration of their daughter. The gesture, though simple, has resonated deeply with fans across Nigeria, many of whom are praising Iyabo for her grace, maturity, and cultural awareness.
From admiration to comic relief, reactions poured in:
“Iyabo really tried for this one, reunited with her ex to celebrate their daughter. I applaud her,” wrote one user.
“She has changed the narrative. Well done, Iyabo,” another added.
Even those who were initially sceptical of her actions seemed genuinely touched by the symbolism of her and her ex-husband standing side by side in support of their daughter’s big day.
In many ways, this wedding has become more than a celebration of love—it’s a statement on co-parenting, tradition, and emotional intelligence. Iyabo Ojo didn’t just show up—she showed out with dignity.
As the photos and videos continue to trend, it’s safe to say that while the wedding was for Priscilla and her partner, it also served as a redemptive spotlight for Iyabo Ojo, who once again reminded us that elegance and peace can coexist, even in the most personal situations.
