Biola Bayo Clarifies Separation Announcement Amidst Social Media Backlash.
Nollywood actress Biola Bayo has clarified the circumstances surrounding her recent announcement of separation from her husband, Oluseyi. The announcement, made on Oluseyi’s birthday, drew criticism online, with some accusing Bayo of insensitivity.
In response, Bayo explained that her decision to make the announcement stemmed from a desire to control the narrative. “I don’t want people to say my story for me,” she stated, emphasizing her preference to address the situation directly rather than allow rumors to circulate. She further clarified that the announcement was made with her husband’s consent, preempting speculation arising from her lack of recent social media posts featuring him.
Bayo, known for her openness, previously revealed that she and Oluseyi welcomed their son via surrogacy in 2023. Despite the backlash, she maintains that her actions were driven by a desire for transparency and to avoid misrepresentation of her personal life.

Jarvis believes her early exposure to hard labor has impacted her ability to embrace her femininity. “At a young age, I became a man,” she stated, explaining that she was forced to take on adult responsibilities early in life. Despite the hardships, Jarvis expressed gratitude towards a former employer who showed her compassion after the robbery, highlighting the kindness she encountered amidst challenging circumstances. Her story is a testament to resilience and a reminder of the struggles faced by many young people.
