AY undoubtedly shares a strong bond with his first daughter as the comedian never fails to post on his Instagram page. Back in January, AY had shared the cherishing moment he had with his Michelle, before resuming school. The Waiter producer shared a video of himself and his beautiful daughter engaged in a dancing competition, as he lamented over how the holiday was short and gushed over their memories.
Before then, the filmmaker had expressed pride in Michelle when she vlogged about his movie premiere, The Waiter. He appreciated his daughter for helping to contribute to her school fees, as he relived the memories of the moment he had during the premiere.
Also in January, Ayo had penned an emotional note to celebrate his second daughter’s birthday. He noted how he hadn’t seen her much since his separation from her mother. However, he was grateful for every moment they shared. He further admitted that though so many unrepairable occurrences had engulfed the unity they once called family, she should rest assured that she was deeply loved by her mum and him.
To mark her day, AY shared an emotional video of him reuniting with his daughter for her birthday. The box office King had surprised her with cake and more in her school. In the clip, the toddler who was overjoyed seeing him ran to him in a warm embrace and the comedian carried her. Elsewhere in the clip, Ayomide, who didn’t want her dad to leave, was seen pulling his legs and asking him to stay with her.
