Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo and music executive Paul Okoye, popularly known as Paulo, have sparked fresh reactions online following a recent social media exchange amid speculation about the status of their relationship.
The speculation began after a video from singer Zlatan Ibile’s wedding surfaced online showing Iyabo Ojo alongside an unidentified man.
The footage, which circulated on social media on Saturday, October 24, 2026, prompted some fans to question whether the actress and Paulo had gone their separate ways.
However, an earlier interaction between Iyabo and Paulo on Instagram has added another layer to the speculation.
On October 20, Iyabo commented on one of Paulo’s posts with a series of clapping emojis. The music executive responded to her comment, writing, “@iyaboojofespris family ❤️🙏.”
The brief exchange caught the attention of social media users, with some interpreting Paulo’s response as an indication that the pair remain on good terms.
Iyabo and Paulo have been publicly linked since December 2022, when the actress confirmed their relationship.
The couple had previously fuelled breakup rumours after becoming less visible together online. In April 2026, however, the pair appeared to put those reports to rest when Paulo supported Iyabo at the London premiere of her movie, Return of Arinze. A video from the event showed them sharing affectionate moments.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Iyabo Ojo nor Paulo Okoye had publicly confirmed or denied the latest speculation about their relationship.
For now, the identity of the man seen with Iyabo at Zlatan’s wedding, as well as the nature of their relationship, remains unclear.
