Lawal speaks about Olu Jacobs' son and ex-wife
She said:
"I wish they could put their differences aside and reunite. I hate to see broken homes. No one is perfect; couples just try to work on each other’s imperfections and become better for their partners. Even if they decide to go their separate ways, I don’t think it means she should leave such a huge gap between them when they’re taking pictures. I feel that was uncalled for."
