Legit.ng earlier reported that actor Gbenro Ajibade and actress Osas Ighodaro took to their respective social media pages on Saturday, June 20, 2026, to celebrate their daughter, Azariah, on her 10th birthday.
Osas, who shared multiple pictures of her daughter, described Azariah as her source of love, happiness, motivation and inspiration, praying for God’s continued protection, favour and blessings upon her life.
"Azariah, I am soooooo grateful and proud of the beautiful human being you are! You are truly such a good girl with so much love, energy, compassion, sensitivity, sassiness, and happiness!! You truly have such a beautiful heart my baby! May you be a continued blessing to your family, friends and generation! May God bless you with loooong life, joy, protection and prosperity," the actress wrote in part.
Her ex-husband, Gbenro, on his part, reflected on a decade of fatherhood, describing their daughter as his best friend, greatest joy and motivation through life’s toughest moments.
"Being your “Super Dad” isn’t a duty—it is my life’s greatest mission,the greatest honor of my existence. I have and would gladly give up everything a thousand times over just to protect your smile. But what you don’t realize is how much you have protected me, too," he wrote in a lengthy message
Gbenro also shared videos from the party organised to celebrate Azariah's 10th birthday.
One of the clips captured him and Osas dancing alongside the birthday celebrant.
Recall that Ighodaro and Ajibade met on the set of Tinsel, a TV show, and got married afterwards.
In February 2019, fans of the couple woke up to a rather strange post from Gbenro. He had called Osas out on his Instagram page over her parenting style. It was clear that they were separated at that time.
