Biola Adebayo Breaks Silence on Emotional Separation
Yoruba Nollywood actress, Biola Adebayo, has stunned fans with the heartbreaking announcement of her marriage crash, declaring that it’s better to “stay alive and tell the story” than remain in a relationship that no longer works.
Naija News reports that Biola took to her Instagram page on Tuesday, June 3, 2025, to share the deeply personal news. In a surprising twist, she tied the announcement to a birthday tribute for her now ex-husband, confirming that they have been separated since April 2024.
In her post, Biola expressed sincere birthday wishes to her ex, praying for peace, grace, and blessings in his life. She went on to reveal that although their marriage didn’t survive, both are committed to maturely and peacefully co-parenting their son—who remains their shared priority.
“Yes, you heard me right! My husband and I have been separated since April last year… I wish it had worked, but it’s better to stay alive to tell the story,” she wrote, pouring out raw emotion.
The actress apologized to fans who may feel disappointed by the revelation, stressing that not all that glitters on the outside reflects the pain within. She revealed how, despite her cheerful public appearance, she’s spent night after night crying in silence.
“While I go about making other people happy in the day, my pillow has been drenched with my own tears almost every night for the past 14 months…”
Biola leaned on her Christian faith, saying that Christ’s love and strength have kept her going through the storm.
She ended her post with a reminder for people to be kind, as many suffer in silence, and closed with the comforting words of faith:
“SAY UNTO THE RIGHTEOUS ALL IS WELL! PEACE.”
The news has sparked an outpouring of support online, with fans and fellow celebrities rallying around the actress as she begins this new chapter.
