The Nollywood community and fans of popular actor Femi Adebayo were left scratching their heads in confusion following a birthday message posted by his estranged wife, Iyanaladuke. The post, which appeared on her social media page on December 31, 2025, featured a lovely photo and a warm message celebrating the actor, instantly reigniting speculation about a possible reconciliation between the couple.
A Birthday Message That Raised Eyebrows
In the now-viral post, Iyanaladuke described Femi Adebayo as "the best man" she knows and the father of her son. She addressed him affectionately by his other name, Ishola, and offered heartfelt prayers for him on his special day. This public display of affection came as a surprise to many, given their known marital issues.
The confusion was compounded by recent online activity. Just a few weeks prior, Iyanaladuke had begun sharing loved-up pictures of herself with the actor, including happy family moments with Adebayo's children from his first marriage. These posts had already started whispers of a potential reunion. However, the plot thickened when she later used her platform to call out an unnamed lady, accusing her of being responsible for the breakdown of their marriage.
Claims of Hacked Account Fuel the Mystery
The narrative took another dramatic turn just hours after the birthday post went viral. A video surfaced on Iyanaladuke's social media page claiming that she was not the one operating her phone and that all the recent messages, including the accusatory post and the birthday tribute, had been deleted by an unknown party.
This claim of compromised accounts left fans and followers in a quandary. They were left to wonder which, if any, of the posts genuinely came from Iyanaladuke herself. The back-and-forth has turned their private life into a public puzzle, with every social media update being scrutinized for clues.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Followers
The online reaction to the birthday post was a mixture of celebration, skepticism, and prayer. While some fans were quick to celebrate the seemingly sweet gesture, others expressed deep doubt about its authenticity.
Comments under the post reflected the public's confusion. One fan, @yemilove02, captured the prevailing sentiment perfectly, writing: "Hope dis one real dis time around...I dnt want to hear dat is not Iyanaladuke dat post it...bcoz am very hapi to see dis." Others, like @mhothun_01, questioned directly: "I hope this is real? I love them together."
Many fans chose to focus on hope, flooding the comment section with prayers for the couple's reunion. Comments such as "May God restore your home" and "Almighty Allah will restore the peace in this marriage" were common, showing a section of the public rooting for their reconciliation.
This episode occurs against the backdrop of Femi Adebayo himself marking a family celebration; he recently posted a heartfelt tribute to his father, veteran actor Adebayo Salami, on his birthday, which was warmly received by fans.
As it stands, the true state of affairs between Femi Adebayo and Iyanaladuke remains shrouded in mystery. The conflicting signals from her social media have provided no clear answers, leaving the public to watch, wait, and wonder if this is a genuine path to mending fences or another confusing chapter in their very public split.
