On 2 June 2002, she exchanged wedding vows with an automobile dealer, Dare Ogunlana. They gave birth to a daughter – Damilola. Several years later, they broke up.
In 2013, the actress tied the knot with Adewale Yakubu Ajibola. Lola Alao wedding took place in Atlanta, the USA. About a year later, this marriage ended with a divorce.
As of today, she is single. She said:
It is a case of never say never, I can tell you ‘no’ now and another thing would happen tomorrow. As long as I cannot predict the future, then I can’t predict events (that have yet to unfold). If marriage comes, (that would be) fine, and if it does not come, I am also good (with that).
Children
As of today, L. Alao is an attentive and caring mother. In 2019, she won the custody case over late Aisha Abimbola’s children, who died in 2018 of breast cancer.
Thus, she became a foster mother for Lase and Keji, despite the attempts taken by their estranged father, Victor Ibrahim, to get custody of the children.
When Lola was diagnosed with COVID-19 this year, she worried about her family and kids. Here is what she said in an interview with Saturday Beats:
When I contracted COVID-19, the fear of leaving my children and family behind worried me. I was also worried about my adopted children in Nigeria and my foundation. I kept praying to God and told Him to spare my life for the sake of my children. I am grateful and thankful that I got a second chance to live.
The actress announced her recorvery on her Instagram to cheer up her followers.
About a month ago, Aisha Abimbola’s daughter underwent surgery. Lola took a break from work to devote herself entirely to taking care of Keji.
Lola looks after her late friend’s kids as if they were her own children:
It has been two years since Aisha passed away but she spent quality time with her kids and had prepared their minds about how life would be when she was no more. I have made it my duty to always fill in the gap as their mother and try to do things that Aisha would have done for them... I treat Aisha’s children and mine equally. If I was not going to be responsible for them, I would have declined Aisha’s request when she asked me to take up the mantle.
She also mentioned:
Some people have opined that I should formally adopt the children but I consider them to be mine already. There are some relationships that are as good as being blood-related. They will always be their father’s children, I am just there as their guardian.
As of today, Lola Alao lives in Canada. Recently, she posted new pictures of Keji, showing that the girl has now recovered entirely from the surgery she underwent.
