Her Longterm Relationship with Actor Odunlade Adekola Has Generated Controversies

After her return to the movie industry in 2010, Eniola Ajao found the help of Odunlade Adekola, one of the biggest names in the Yoruba movie scene. The 2 actors have grown to become close in their private as well as professional cycles. This would lead to the allegations that she may be having an affair with Adekola.

The rumor of their love affair had further been fueled after the internet graced some of their images that suggest closeness as those of a couple that is married or to be married. As it turned out, it was only images that were taken from a scene in a movie.

Ajao has further educated the public on her relationship with Adekola. It has been strictly that of a boss and an apprentice and further claimed that she belonged to his caucus.

Eniola Ajao is the mother of a young adult son, Ayomide Okikiola Daniel. He was born on May 17, 2002, before the actress took a step as a professional actress in 2004.

Even though details of Ayo are under wraps, it is believed that she had him while she was a lot younger. Since her exact age remains a mystery, all there is to the public is the speculation that since Ayo is 21 years old, she may have had him while she was a teenager or probably at the time that she was in her early 20s.

On answering the question of who the father of Eniola Ajao’s son is, the actress would rather keep it on the low. What is known regardless, is that she is not married at the time of this writing but has opened up through an interview that she has a serious relationship with a man who is not in the movie industry.

Eniola Ajao’s Height, Weight, and Other Body Measurements

The exact height of the Epe native is sketchy but judging based on what the eyes meet, she is above 5 feet tall. Her average body weight and her curvy hourglass body have turned heads and won her admiration and comments from fans, especially on social media.

For many social media users and other media outlets, the actress does not shy from flaunting her curves and neither does the public put a permanent full stop to talk about it.

When asked in an interview if her bust causes her any embarrassment, the gap-toothed actress opened up that she had never been embarrassed by them, and this may be because she does not expose her body. She accords her “decency” to how she was raised by her parents who instilled in her the virtue that she has not been able to depart from.
