Nollywood stars Osas Ighodaro and Gbenro Ajibade marked a special family milestone on Saturday, June 20, 2026, as they celebrated their daughter Azariah’s 10th birthday in a heartwarming display of co-parenting and love. Despite past public tensions, the former couple came together to honor their child, sharing joyful moments and emotional tributes on social media. The celebration, which included family, friends, and fans, highlighted their commitment to putting their daughter’s happiness first.
Osas Ighodaro took to her social media page to express her deep gratitude and pride in Azariah, describing her as a source of love, happiness, motivation, and inspiration. In a touching message, she praised her daughter’s kindness, energy, and unique personality, 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!” she wrote.
Gbenro Ajibade also shared an emotional tribute, reflecting on his journey as a father over the past decade. He described Azariah as his best friend, greatest joy, and a constant source of motivation during life’s toughest times. “Being your ‘Super Dad’ isn’t a duty — it is my life’s greatest mission, the greatest honor of my existence,” he wrote. He emphasized his willingness to sacrifice everything to protect her smile, while also acknowledging how much she has protected and uplifted him in return.
The actor posted several videos from the birthday event, including a joyful clip of him and Osas dancing with Azariah, capturing the warmth and unity of the occasion. Their reunion for the celebration sparked positive reactions from fans and followers, many of whom praised their co-parenting model. Comments flooded in, with users like @beccaszn noting, “One thing about her dad! He always shows up!! Always!!! Bless em!” Another fan, @lady_phrances, commended their approach, saying, “Beautiful co-parenting. It doesn’t have to be toxic especially for the children.”
Osas and Gbenro first met on the set of the popular TV series Tinsel, where their relationship blossomed before they eventually married. However, in February 2019, their relationship faced public scrutiny after Gbenro criticized Osas’ parenting style on social media, leading to speculation of a separation. Despite the past challenges, their decision to celebrate Azariah’s birthday together sends a powerful message about prioritizing family and children.
This milestone not only marks Azariah’s 10th year of life but also symbolizes a renewed commitment to her well-being by her parents. As they continue to co-parent with grace and love, their story serves as an example of how family bonds can endure even after separation. The celebration of Azariah’s birthday stands as a testament to the enduring power of love, unity, and shared responsibility in raising a child.
