Ojo said that Paul Okoye, also known as Paulo, the CEO of Upfront and Personal Management, was her lover in a post she made on her birthday.
The actress had previously made hints that she was seeing an Igbo man and vowed to reveal him when appropriate.
It appeared to be the right time on her 45th birthday as she shared an Instagram reel with videos and pictures of herself and Paulo.
In the caption, she referred to Paulo as Obi’m, which is loosely translated as ‘my heart’ in Igbo language.
Ojo wrote, “My Obi’m. Happy 45th birthday Iysexy. New age, new life, new wins. Cheers to forever #iypaulo.”
Paulo also took to his Instagram page to celebrate his lover, whom he described as ‘Ezenwanyi’, meaning ‘Queen of all women’ in the Igbo language.
Sharing a picture of himself and Ojo, Paulo wrote, “Happy Birthday My Eze Nwanyi. We celebrate you today. Party time. Pure heart! Pure beauty!!”.
Paulo is famous in the Nigerian showbiz scene as he manages popular entertainers like Big Brother Naija’s Maria Chike, and Kizz Daniel, amongst others.
He is also the convener of the popular One Africa Music Fest, an annual event celebrating Afrobeats. He also promotes shows for famous Nigerian singers.
Ojo, on her part, is the mother of two children, Festus and Priscilla, whom she had with her ex-husband, Ademidun Ojo, before their divorce in 2001.
After her short-lived marriage, which lasted for only three years, Iyabo Ojo was saddled with caring for her two children.
