The Nigerian actor Doyin Hassan has clarified the confusion around the birth of his first kid.
The actor revealed the news of his baby’s arrival on Monday, “after 24 years of toils and struggles.”
Additionally, Hassan posted pictures of the child’s dedication in a church on his Instagram profile.
Actor 54 referred to his newborn daughter as “a great testimony of God’s faithfulness.”
On the other hand, according to certain media stories, Hassan and his spouse waited 24 years to have their first kid.
In an Instagram post on Wednesday, the actor clarified any misunderstandings by saying that his wife had not been barren for 24 years.
Hassan stated that Adeola Doyin-Hassan, to whom he was originally married in June 1999, passed away in February 2008.
Following that, in April 2020, he married Bolanle Doyin-Hassan, a colleague at the Mount Zion Drama ministries, but she passed away eight months later.
In October 2022, Hassan wed Oladunni, his third wife.
The actor clarified that “the testimony was about me and not the woman I married,” referring to his new spouse as “God’s redirection.”
“I waited for 24 years and not my wife Oladunni: my testimony about 24 years of waiting has been misunderstood in certain quarters,” he said.
“The testimony was about me and not the woman I married. I first got married on the 5th of June 1999 and lost 2 precious women to the cold hands of death over time.
“I married Adeola Doyin-Hassan in June 1999 and lost her 8.5 years after (February 20 2008 on her birthday).
“I waited for 2 years before I remarried Bolanle Doyin-Hassan in April 2010. Bolanle passed in December 2020 and I waited 1 year 7 months before I remarried in October 2022.
“My new wife was not barren for 24 years. I was the one who shared a testimony of my tears and toils for 24 years. Meeting Oladunni was God’s redirection of my divine journey.”
