However, he never envisioned himself as a professional model until his years in College, particularly in his second year at Benue State University, when his friends lobbied him to participate in the Mr Campus competition. This he did and eventually won.<\/p>\n<p>While Gbenro enjoyed the fame and respect winning the Mr Campus brought to him, he revealed that his further research about modeling as a profession, plus his love for the stage, spurred him on to give it a try.<\/p>\n<p>Two days after graduating from the University in 2005, Gbenro moved to Lagos to pursue his dream as a model, and it was like a different world entirely. He not only discovered that modeling has two aspects &#8211; photography and fashion modeling, but also that each of the aspects has its different requirements. For photography, he needed to have a pleasing smile, and for fashion, he should be up to six feet.<\/p>\n<p>Luckily, his six feet three inches tall with a slim-fitting body. This made him the best fit for the two aspects. He, however, needed to engage in rigorous body routines in order to stay in shape, as most designers would prefer models like him to go shirtless. This, too, was one of the inspirations for him to work out more at the beginning.<\/p>\n<p>Gbenro was in fashion modeling for a year and nine months before getting his first job in photography, where he made his big break. At the time of writing this piece, Gbenro revealed that he had done over two million fashion shows in Nigeria. He has also done about 17 TV commercials, five billboards, and so many other press adverts.<\/p>\n<p>Apparently, he was already a bigwig in the modeling industry before he branched out to the film industry. One of his best years as a model could be 2011, when he won Most Outstanding Actor\/Model of the Year at the 2011 Nigerian Model Achievers Awards. Below are some of the known platforms and brands he modeled for.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Bill Witherspoon\u2019s model at the Africa New York fashion week &#8211;\u00a0 2013<\/li>\n<li>He was one of the models at the Arise Magazine fashion week &#8211;

He landed his first acting gig, <em>Tinsel,<\/em> while attending one of his many auditions, shoots, fashion shows, and casting calls. Though intimidated by the many cameras and high-tech equipment surrounding him, Gbenro worked his way from being a mere rookie in the film industry to be one of the best any filmmaker would be proud to have.<\/p>\n<p>Aside from consistent practice, Gbenro said he got to where he currently is through rigorous hard work that includes research and being able to maintain his physical and mental well-being. Also, you would need to invest in your craft, and that would include training, acting classes, and all.<\/p>\n<p>Tinsel became both Gbenro&#8217;s testing ground for acting and a stepping stone to his further rise to fame and fortune. Given the lead role of &#8216;Soji&#8217; in the Mnet series, Gbenro has appeared in over 4,000 episodes in the space of 12 years of the show.<\/p>\n<p>Moving further in his acting career, Gbenro Ajibade has featured in numerous other films and TV shows in Nigeria, sharing the screen with top Nigerian movie stars like Desmond Elliot, Kunle Remi, Omoni Oboli, and Ini Edo. 2017<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Gbenga Ajibade&#8217;s Movies and TV Shows<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Cold Calm<\/li>\n<li>Reprisal<\/li>\n<li>Hip Hop Holiday<\/li>\n<li>Memoirs of 4<\/li>\n<li>Bachelor\u2019s Eve<\/li>\n<li>Bad Boys and Pretty<\/li>\n<li>Ten Days in Sun City<\/li>\n<li>Couple\u2019s Award<\/li>\n<li>Catchi.er<\/li>\n<li>Official Business<\/li>\n<li>30\u2019s<\/li>\n<li>An Hour with Shrink<\/li>\n<li>Twisted Thorne<\/li>\n<li>Gbomo Gbomo Express<\/li>\n<li>Tinsel<\/li>\n<li>Shattered Romance<\/li>\n<li>The Wages<\/li>\n<li>The View<\/li>\n<li>When a Woman Loves<\/li>\n<li>Me Vs Me<\/li>\n<li>Wrong Turn<\/li>\n<li>Locked Up II<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What Shows has Gbenro Ajibade Hosted?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CkRCZ3iuRoY\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Shortly after, they got married. Their traditional marriage was held in Benin, the Edo state capital, on June 15, 2015, and their fairytale wedding ceremony was held in New York, USA.<\/p>\n<p>Gbenro and Osas lived together as a couple for about five years before their unfortunate separation in 2019.

Meanwhile, the whole issue about their failed marriage started when Ajibade publicly accused Osas of habitually neglecting their daughter to party with friends.<\/p>\n<p>In a series of posts on his Instagram Stories, Gbenro called out his wife, saying she leaves their child in the care of a nanny and \u201cgoes out to party and hang with friends\/events from night till dawn. It\u2019s not the first, second, third, or fourth time,\u201d he said. He went on to add, \u201cI see through all the hypocrisy and crocodile tears. It\u2019s not about putting sh** outside, it\u2019s about the final warning. I\u2019ve tried every other means and you know it. It\u2019s not a do-or-die affair,\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMake up your mind and stop wasting a guy\u2019s time,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/ www.bellanaija.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/02\/WhatsApp-Image-2019-02-17-at-12.10.09-1.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-79727\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gbenro-1.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gbenro-1.png 540w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/12\/gbenro-1-146x260.png 146w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 540px) 100vw, 540px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>When asked why he had to go public with their marital issues, the actor said, he was just using Instagram as a tool to save the situation as he had laid several complaints with no improvements on the side of the actress.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the actor was accused of arranging his marriage with Osas so that he could get a blue passport (American passport). He, however, denied the allegation, saying he wouldn\u2019t go through all the processes of doing traditional marriage, involving families, and having a white wedding in New York just for a green card.<\/p>\n<p>Gbenro and Osas are no longer together, but they share responsibility for their daughter Azariah. On June 21, 2022, the celebrity parents came together to celebrate their daughter&#8217;s sixth birthday, and it left many hoping to see them back together again as a couple.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Gbenro Ajibade Dating Now?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B9ze7WNJO82\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;
