The news of the split was first made public on Oluseyi’s birthday last week, when the actress shared a message celebrating him — while also confirming the end of their four-year marriage.
The timing of the announcement drew mixed reactions, with critics accusing Biola of choosing the occasion to spark backlash against her estranged husband.
However, speaking at a public event where she joined in presenting a house to veteran actress Jumoke George, Biola addressed the controversy for the first time.
She explained that the decision to post about the separation was intentional and made with her husband’s full consent.

“Please, I’m a human too,” she said. “The other one I said about my marriage was because I don’t want people to say my story for me, that was why I came out to say it. And that’s my style. So that people would not be saying something different or saying things that would make me sad.”
According to the actress, rumors were already circulating online after fans noticed she had stopped posting her husband. Rather than allow gossip blogs and anonymous sources to twist her narrative, she decided to go public.
“I have already told my husband before I posted. So he was aware that I would post it so that other people won’t be the one to tell the story on social media,” she added. “But I know that God will reward everybody accordingly.”
