Actress Iyabo Ojo turned 45 on Wednesday, and she unveiled popular entertainment executive, Paul Okoye, aka Paulo, as her lover.

Paulo’s daughter, Vanessa, while celebrating Ojo on the latter’s birthday, called her ‘stepmother’, as she showered her father’s lover with praises.

Vanessa, a celebrity manager like her father, shared an Instagram reel showing pictures of herself and Iyabo Ojo on Thursday, describing the actress as “smart, beautiful, strong and determined”.

The 25-year-old wrote, “I don’t even know what to say, Aunty @iyaboojofesprisIyabo Ojo, you are smart, beautiful, strong, and determined! The list could go on and on!

“I love you soo much. You have helped me in so many ways, and I really appreciate you. Today we shut down Lagos. May God continue to bless you, stepmother.”

Taking to the comment section, Iyabo Ojo said, “My love. I will forever love you.”

Asides Vanessa, Paulo also has a 21-year-old son, Paolo. However, information about his children’s mother is not made public.

Paulo is popular in the Nigerian showbiz scene as he manages popular entertainers like Big Brother Naija’s Maria Chike, Erica Nlewedim, Kizz Daniel, amongst others.

Just like Paulo, Iyabo Ojo also has children, Festus, 23, and Priscilla, 21, whom she had with her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, before their divorce in 2001.

After her short-lived marriage, which lasted for only three years, Iyabo Ojo was saddled with caring for her two children.

Iyabo Ojo’s children also showered their mother with praises on her 45^thbirthday via their Instagram pages. (The PUNCH)
