She worked as a healthcare assistant in general hospitals in Nigeria and occasionally acted in her husband&#8217;s theatre before deciding to quit her nursing career to focus on acting.<\/p>\n<p>Iya Rainbow ventured into full-time acting after the death of her husband. She began by working part-time with her husband&#8217;s theatrical group called Osumare Theatre; gaining mastery of the art. She later took over the leadership of the group which soon became defunct.<\/p>\n<p>Joining the entertainment industry at the age of 45, Iya Rainbow took part in many movies both English and Yoruba. Her first set of movies\u00a0was <em>Aje ni Iya Mi<\/em> and <em>Eru<\/em>. In 2017, she was featured in a documentary shot by her son Femi Phillip. The documentary was about Moses Orimolade, the founder of Cherubim and Seraphim.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"instagram-media\" data-instgrm-captioned data-instgrm-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CmA-pZADHjT\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\" data-instgrm-version=\"14\" style=\" background:#FFF;

Prior to his death, Augustine was known to be passionate about arts and he closely worked with the late patriarch of the Nigerian Film Industry, Sir Hubert Ogunde. He was also a\u00a0 lecturer at the University of Lagos and an actor.<\/p>\n<p>Iya Rainbow got married to her husband, Augustine Ayanfemi Phillips in 1960. She was just 18 years old at the time and they went on to build a good marriage. They were blessed with five adorable children. Her husband also introduced her to and encouraged her passion for arts and theater.<\/p>\n<p>Iya Rainbow and her husband lived together as a couple for about 24 years before he died in 1984. It has been over three decades since then and Iya Rainbow has yet to openly date another man. Perhaps she chooses to remain a widow and focus on her career as well as her children.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/i.ytimg.com\/vi\/zE8BS_X5mQU\/maxresdefault.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-80577\" src=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mama-rainbow.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"696\" height=\"391\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mama-rainbow.jpg 696w, https:\/\/buzznigeria.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/Mama-rainbow-260x146.jpg 260w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Meet Mama Rainbow&#8217;s Children<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Nollywood thespian Iya Rainbow is blessed with five children. Amongst them is a son named Femi Phillips who is based in the United Kingdom. He is also said to have followed his parents&#8217; steps in filmmaking.\u00a0 He is an actor and scriptwriter best known for Yoruba movies like <em>Alamu se\u2019ni yan<\/em>, <em>Odunmbaku<\/em>;\u00a0<em>Elepo robi<\/em>; and\u00a0<em>Anikulapo<\/em> among others.<\/p>\n<p>Iya Rainbow also has another child named Olabisi who is inclined toward filmmaking. Another of Iya Rainbow&#8217;s children is the late Sola Osborne. Sola also loved filmmaking but later answered the call of God to become a prophetess of the Cherubim and Seraphim church. She served God for several years before her death in 2016.<\/p>\n<p>As a widow, Iya Rainbow trained her children by herself. Things were quite difficult for her but she persevered. She took any role no matter how low-paying so as to be able to raise her children. Gracefully, they are all grown up and doing well for themselves in their various career. They have also not forgotten their mother&#8217;s sacrifices.<\/p>\n<p>In June 2022, one of Iya Rainbow&#8217;s children gifted her a well-furnished house. The actress wept in joy when she returned home from abroad to meet an already furnished house built for her by her children. It was indeed a dream come true for the thespian.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Iya Rainbow (Real Name: Esther Idowu Philips, Born on: 16 October 1942; Age: years old) is a Nigerian veteran actress, movie producer, director, and healthcare assistant.
