Early Life & Education

Abiola Adebayo, also known as Biola Adebayo or Biola Bayo, was born on December 23, 1981, in Mushin, Lagos State, Nigeria. She is of Yoruba descent, with family roots in Ondo State, Nigeria.

A Christian, her faith is significant, as evidenced by her honorary doctorate in Christian Leadership and Business from Moren Christian University, USA, in 2023. Her mother is Mojisola Nurat Adebayo (née Adelakun), and her father, from a polygamous household, is Oluwafemi Adebayo.

Her parents divorced when she was young, leaving her mother to raise the family under challenging circumstances. Abiola has two siblings, a brother and a sister, whose names are not publicly documented. Growing up in Mushin, Lagos, her early years were marked by financial hardship.

After her parents’ separation, her mother struggled to provide for Abiola and her siblings, leading Abiola to hawk goods like bread and drinks while pursuing education. The polygamous family dynamics and her strict father added complexity to her childhood.

She attended St. Paul’s Primary School in Lagos and Ijaiye Ojokoro Senior High School, later earning a Bachelor’s degree in History and International Relations from Lagos State University and a Master’s degree in Public Administration from the University of Lagos.

She is currently married to Oluwaseyi Akinrinde. The couple tied the knot on April 27, 2021, at the Ikoyi Registry in Lagos, following a more than three-year relationship. Adebayo publicly shared her joy on Instagram, noting her initial hesitation toward marriage but expressing gratitude for finding a partner who changed her perspective.

Prior to this, Abiola was married to a UK-based Yoruba man named Ola. Their marriage took place in October 2012 in a quiet ceremony in the United Kingdom. Initially referred to as an engagement, Adebayo later clarified that it was indeed a marriage. The relationship ended less than two years later due to genotype incompatibility—both shared the same genotype, raising the risk of sickle cell disease in their potential offspring. They chose to part ways amicably, prioritizing health and future family planning.

In April 2023, Abiola and Oluwaseyi welcomed their first child, a son, Tioluwanimi Asher Akinrinde, through surrogacy. She shared the joyous news on Instagram, highlighting the emotional and personal journey that led to motherhood, especially after her first marriage ended without children due to the genotype issue.

Adebayo dated Ola for about two and a half years before their 2012 marriage, and Oluwaseyi for over three years before their 2021 wedding. In a 2020 interview with Punch Newspapers, she emphasized a careful approach to relationships, stating she would rather stay single than rush into a wrong marriage.
