One of the leading Nollywood actresses in Nigeria, Iyabo Ojo, has Wednesday made public her new lover in a post she made to celebrate her 45th birthday celebration.
In the said post, the actress announced Paul Okoye, also known as Paulo as the new found lover.
Okoye is the CEO of Upfront and Personal Management.
The actress had previously made hints that she was dating an Igbo man and had vowed to reveal him when the time was appropriate.
It appeared to be the right time on her 45th birthday as she shared an Instagram reel with videos and pictures of herself and Paulo.
In the caption, she referred to Paulo as Obi’m, which is loosely translated as ‘my heart’ in Igbo language.
Ojo wrote, “My Obi’m. Happy 45th birthday Iysexy. New age, new life, new wins. Cheers to forever #iypaulo.”
Paulo also took to his Instagram page to celebrate his lover, whom he described as ‘Ezenwanyi’, meaning ‘Queen of all women’ in Igbo language.
Sharing a picture of himself and Ojo, Paulo wrote, “Happy Birthday My Eze Nwanyi. We celebrate you today. Party time. Pure heart! Pure beauty!!”.
Paulo is popular in the Nigerian showbiz scene as he manages popular entertainers like Big Brother Naija’s Maria Chike, Kizz Daniel, amongst others.
He is also the convener of the popular One Africa Music Fest, an annual event celebrating Afrobeats. He also promotes shows for popular Nigerian singers.
Ojo, on her part, is the mother of two children, Festus and Priscilla, 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.
