Actor Deyemi Okanlawon hails Yvonne Jegede after bombshell interview about her struggles as a single mum

Actress Deyemi Okanlawon praised Yvonne Jegede after her shocking interview about the difficulties of being a single mother.

The actor encouraged the single mother in the comments section of a blog.

Deyemi praised her for being a strong woman, hailing her.

“We love you @iamyvonnejegede. Na woman you be!”.

Recall that Yvonne Jegede had disclosed that her ex-husband, Olakunle Fawole is a deadbeat father who hasn’t shown any form of support or interest in the life of their son, Xavier who turned 4 weeks ago.

Opening up in a recent conversation with Mercy Johnson on her cook show, Yvonne Jegede recounted how Olakunle Fawole only showed up once to see the child after she gave him an ultimatum of withdrawing his surname.

Going down memory lane on how they fell in love, Yvonne Jegede disclosed that he was an amazing friend but their marriage just didn’t work out.

Speaking about where the ex-lovers stands now, she said,

“Olakunle and I don’t talk now, he doesn’t call or talk to his son. It is funny how we once had a solid friendship aside from the marriage but I don’t know how it all went off the radar.

The first time he publicly accepted the son when he was 5 months old was when I gave him an ultimatum that I will remove his surname once the boy turns 5.

Thankfully, I had given him a compound name, Xavier Jegede Fawole, and I threatened that I will remove the Fawole and leave just the Jegede since I am solely raising him up.

That was what made him come then to carry the son when he was 5 months old, took photos and posted them on social media and since then no show. “
