Nollywood actor and filmmaker Femi Adebayo recently shared a heartwarming video of himself with his son Aridunnu, whom he had with his estranged wife, Iyana Aduke (also known as Iyanaladuke). The video, posted on his Instagram page in the early hours of Thursday, June 25, captured the actor engaging in fun activities with his special needs son at the boy's school playground.
Video Shows Father-Son Bond
The video, now circulating widely on social media, shows Femi Adebayo playing with Aridunnu, highlighting their close bond. In the caption, Femi wrote: “The loudest blessings are rarely the ones that make noise. Sometimes, they’re found in small smiles, familiar eyes, and moments you’ll replay long after they’re gone.”
This public display of affection comes months after the couple's marital issues made waves online. Legit.ng previously reported that after the couple ended their marriage, Iyanaladuke called out an actress, Olatoun, whom she claimed was responsible for the breakdown of the union. She accused Olatoun of betraying her trust, saying she was like a sister and should have watched her back. Olatoun responded by claiming she had tolerated “a lot of nonsense” from Iyanaladuke, which she said had cost her friendships and nearly ruined her own marriage. Iyanaladuke later deleted all her posts on the matter.

The video sparked widespread reactions online, with some netizens speculating that the actor shared it as proof of his fatherly duties. Legit.ng compiled several comments:
