Toriola explained during an exclusive interview with TVC News, that their separation had not severed their connection, as they had built a solid co-parenting relationship that worked seamlessly for their family.
This arrangement, she noted, allowed them to focus on raising their child while keeping the door open for future siblings.
Her candidness about prioritising family expansion over societal expectations of remarriage sparked widespread conversations across Nigerian social media platforms, with many praising her boldness and others questioning her choice.
Toriola further elaborated that her ex-husband remained a significant part of her life, not out of romantic attachment but due to their shared goals for their child’s upbringing.
She described their communication as open and respectful, a foundation that made her confident in planning more children together. The actress stressed that her decision was deliberate, rooted in what she believed was best for her family’s future.
This revelation came as a shock to many who assumed Toriola, a prominent figure in Nollywood, would be eager to settle into a new marriage. Instead, she stood firm in her resolve, showcasing a modern approach to family dynamics that challenged traditional Nigerian norms around marriage and divorce.
