For his birthday last year, the Yoruba actor reunited with his children in the United States. Sanyeri was spotted in the company of his sons upon his arrival in the country. He also had a birthday bash with his friends in the US.
While celebrating his wife’s birthday, Sanyeri promised to love her till his last breath. The actor appreciated her for being more than just his wife, and described her as one of Africa’s most cherished women. He revealed that he found his life’s true meaning since the day he married her.
In 2022, his wife, Omolara Olaiya, cleared up the misconception about their 15-year marriage. Announcing their divorce on Instagram, she disclosed that they had been separated for nine years. The Canada-based businesswoman said she maintained a cordial relationship with the actor for the sake of their children and had chosen happiness over drama.
In other news, the actor’s sons impressed Nigerians with their accents when their video surfaced online. The actor shared a video of his two sons expressing their appreciation to the public for their constant support.
