Biola expressed deep regret that the marriage did not work out and offered an apology to fans and supporters:
“To everyone that feels disappointed, I’m sincerely sorry. I wished it worked, but it’s better to stay alive to tell the story. Please keep us in your prayers.”
She also opened up about the emotional toll the past year has taken on her, sharing:
“While I go about making other people happy in the day, my pillow is drenched with my own 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.”
Biola Bayo and Oluseyi got married in April 2021 and welcomed a son together. The couple has now chosen to focus on co-parenting their child with mutual respect and understanding.
