Popular Nollywood actress Iretiola Doyle is that woman we can say is ageing backwards, as hardly can one tell she is actually 51 and also a grandma, as she shares a sweet photo of her children with her grandchild.
Madam Iretiola Doyle shared the photo of her grandchild which is her daughter Abimbola Kachi Ozofor’s child with husband Kachi and her other daughter, as she goes on grandma duties!
The 51-year-old veteran Nollywood actress who seems like a no-nonsense mother is beginning to enjoy her role as an actress in the Nollywood movie industry, as her face is now one of those that you must see in virtually some of the top productions in the industry, and she does not disappoint…
She is that one woman that has really benefited hugely from the EbonyLife productions, as after her role in Tinsel, the Wedding Party and Fifty character are so far some of her best productions since her acting career…there could be more we do not know about though. The story behind her marriage to another popular veteran Nollywood actor and broadcaster, Patrick Doyle is another gist that has also hit the headlines but details are still sketchy. Though they are rumoured to have gone their separate ways after two decades of being together as husband and wife, no both parties have not said a word on this, and we will leave it at that…for now…
Iretiola has gone through her own challenges growing up as a single mother, as she once granted an interview where she said her mother took her through hell when she discovered that she was pregnant(Abimbola Ozofor). She said:
“My mother didn’t take it lightly with me. I wouldn’t have handled it the way she did because I belong to a different generation.”
“I was nurtured by people I met and they constantly reminded me that my life didn’t end with that bad situation.
“You have to surround yourself with people who love and support you. I was blessed to have people around me; unfortunately, these people are not family members.”
The mother of six further said “I felt I still remained who I was. I came from a very good home, not by wealth but value. Education was not negotiable in my family. I didn’t want that one mistake to define who I was. But it was quite difficult for me because it was the talk of the town for quite a number of years.”
…All that is now history, as she enjoys her Omugwo with her grandchild and children…
