Personal Life

Lizzy Anjorin, a mother of one, had a discreet traditional wedding with the renowned Nigerian musician Jibo Morgan, known for his hit song Ejo Le Fero, in 2015 but divorced in 2019. Her daughter is named Rotimi Anjorin, who was born out of wedlock when Liz Anjorin was quite young. 

Tragically, Rotimi‘s father passed away shortly after her birth. It wasn’t until 2011 that Liz Anjorin, nine years old, decided to introduce her daughter’s face to the public.

Lizzy Anjorin entered her second marriage with Lateef Lawal, whose real name is Adegboyega Lawal. Their weddings took place in July 2020 and were kept intimate, with only close friends and relatives present to witness their union. They purposely chose a private wedding ceremony to maintain privacy and keep their personal affairs away from public scrutiny.

Recently, on May 1, 2021, Lizzy Anjorin and Lateef Lawal welcomed their first child together. The joyous occasion occurred at a hospital in Miami, Florida, where Lateef accompanied the couple as they celebrated the arrival of their bundle of joy.

Liz Anjorin and Toyin Abraham, both well-known Yoruba Nollywood actresses, have been engaged in a longstanding conflict. It all started back in 2019 when a popular Instagram blog alleged that Anjorin had been apprehended for drug trafficking during a pilgrimage to Saudi Arabia. Abraham publicly stood up for Anjorin in a show of support, but unfortunately, this incident strained their relationship.

The feud reignited in 2021 when Lizzy Anjorin disparaged Toyin Abraham and her son, Ireoluwa Ajeyemi. Abraham retaliated with her insults, and the two actresses argued publicly. The situation escalated when Anjorin‘s husband, Lateef Lawal, joined the feud and accused Abraham of being deceitful. In response, Abraham referred to him as a “worthless man.”

The ongoing conflict between Liz Anjorin and Toyin Abraham has received extensive coverage in the Nigerian media, sparking numerous discussions on social media platforms. Both actresses have faced criticism for their actions, although some individuals have come to their defense. This feud has shed light on the broader problem of cyberbullying and online harassment, highlighting the need to address these issues comprehensively.

On November 29, 2023, actress Lizzy Anjorin once again launched a series of vicious attacks against her colleague Iyabo Ojo, according to reports. Following her usual pattern, Liz Anjorin allegedly referred to Iyabo Ojo as Sepeteri while criticizing her physical appearance, professional work, and accomplishments. 

She also claimed that Iyabo Ojo‘s recent BBL surgery had disastrous results, and it required an extraordinary effort to save her from a life-threatening situation. Moreover, Lizzy Anjorin accused the mother of two of being in a romantic relationship with singer Naira Marley and made various allegations about her daughter and lover, Paul Okoye, also known as Paul O.
