Biola took to Instagram and wished Oluseyi Akinrinde a happy birthday, referring to him as “my ex-husband and baby daddy.”

The thespian revealed they had been separated since April 2024 and had decided to co-parent their son maturely and peacefully.

She apologised to those who might feel disappointed by the marriage breakup, stressing that she had wished the marriage had worked, but “it was best to stay alive to tell the story.”

Part of the statement reads, “To everyone who feels disappointed, I’m sincerely sorry. I wish it had worked, but it’s better to stay alive to tell the story. Please keep us in your prayers.”

However, many netizens misinterpreted the statement, leading to speculation that the film star might have suffered domestic violence in the union.

In response, Biola swiftly edited her social media post and debunked the claims of suffering physical abuse while she was with Oluseyi.

She explicitly wrote, “Please note: we never! I mean never had any physical abuse or domestic issue from either of us. (Seyi has never laid a finger on and I never did as well).”
