“Yes, you heard me right! My husband and I have been separated since April last year, but we have decided to maturely and peacefully co-parent our dear son, who means everything to us.”
Apology
Adebayo apologised to her fans and others who were disappointed by her separation from Mr Akinrinde.
The actress, who hoped the three-year marriage would work, said ‘It’s better to stay alive to tell the story.’

“Please keep us in your prayers. While I go about making other people happy during the day, my pillow is drenched with my tears almost every night for the past 14 months, but I gain strength from Christ, who loves me eternally and gave himself for me.
“Let’s learn to be kind to people. You have no idea what others are going through until they say it. Say unto the righteous, all is well,” Adebayo said.
Meanwhile, in a video posted on her YouTube page on 30 May 2023, Adebayo revealed she had a short courtship with her ex-husband before marrying him.
She maintained that before meeting her now ex-husband, she sought a Christian and “someone who lived in Nigeria with no plans to relocate”.
