In the comment section, Okoye eulogised the actress while wishing her a happy birthday.
He wrote: “Happy birthday my Ezenwanyi. We celebrate you today, party time, pure heart, pure beauty”.
Among the public figures who also congratulated the lovebirds are Rita Dominic, Uche Ogbodo, Luchy Donalds, Shan George, and Angela Okorie.
Others who also took to the comment section to celebrate them are Stan Nze, Maria Chike, Nikki Laoye, and Jemima Osunde.
Iyabo has two children — Priscilla and Festus — from a previous relationship.
The film star first got married to Ademidun in 1999. The union, however, crashed in 2001.
In response to the comments made by the brother of the late Adejumoke Aderounmu regarding the actress’s demise, Funke Akindele has taken to her Instagram live to clarify some issues surrounding her life.
Recall that Aderounmu, popularly known for her role as Esther in Jenifa’s Diary, passed away in the early hours of Saturday, 8th April 2024.
However, the brother of the deceased 37-year-old actress called out Akindele for sending her condolences after allegedly ignoring her when she needed help.
It happened that Akindele commented on the brother’s condolence message to his late sister on an Instagram blog post, saying, “Sad!!!! @jideawobona I still asked about her. Omg. May her soul rest in peace.”
In response, Aderounmu’s brother, in a series of posts via his Instagram page, commended Nollywood stars Rita Dominic and Sotayo Gaga for reaching out to his sister, unlike Funke.
The deceased’s brother added that there was no point in showing love when Funke Akindele failed to do the same when his sister was alive.
He wrote: “You that they called tirelessly, you didn’t show up, she even sent Pascal to you, and still, you didn’t reach out. Why the eye service now when she has passed away? Omo, shout-out to Rita Dominic and Sotayo Gaga. Terrible person! If you want to defend anybody, it’s fine. After all, there is nothing we can do about it.
“But don’t be a hypocrite by changing the narrative. Nobody is feeling entitled! If you refuse to show love when a person is alive, don’t do eye service when the person has passed away, just look away, and nobody will question your matter.”
In a dedicated live video on Instagram, the tearful Akindele revealed her relationship with the late Aderounmu and defended herself against the allegations by the brother.
“I’m so unhappy because, practically, you don’t know what I’m going through. I work hard; round the clock,” tearful Akindele lamented.
