Veteran Nollywood actor and broadcaster Patrick Doyle has joyfully announced the birth of his baby girl, Omayinuwa Mayen Harriet Doyle, with his new wife, Funmilayo. The child was born on Friday at approximately 10:40 am, and both mother and baby are reported to be in good health. Doyle shared the news on his Facebook page on Saturday, expressing deep gratitude to God for the new addition to his family. He described the moment as one of overwhelming joy and spiritual thanksgiving, marking a fresh chapter in his personal life.
In his heartfelt post, Doyle wrote, “To the glory of God, I announce the precious addition of a female child to my quiver. Omayinuwa Mayen Harriet Doyle was born yesterday at about 10:40 AM. Mother and child are doing well and daddy is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to God Almighty.” The announcement has since sparked an outpouring of congratulations from fans, friends, and colleagues across the entertainment industry, who have flooded his social media with well-wishes and praise.
This joyous news comes after Doyle’s public divorce from his former wife, actress Ireti Doyle, which was confirmed during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on his show WithChude. Ireti stated outright, “We are officially divorced,” putting an end to years of speculation about the state of their marriage. The couple had tied the knot in 2004 and were known for their prominent presence in Nollywood, as well as their family life. Their union, which produced children, had faced persistent rumors of strain before the separation was finally acknowledged in 2023.
Ireti had previously chosen to keep the details of their separation private, citing family privacy as her reason for silence. She emphasized that the matter was personal and should not be subjected to public scrutiny. Following the divorce, Patrick Doyle remarried in early 2023, marking a new beginning in his personal journey. The birth of his daughter with Funmilayo is seen as a significant milestone in this new phase of his life.
The announcement has also sparked conversations about family, renewal, and the evolving dynamics within the Nigerian entertainment industry. As Patrick Doyle embraces fatherhood once again, the story highlights the personal growth and resilience often seen behind the public personas of Nollywood stars. This new chapter, centered on joy and gratitude, is expected to continue drawing attention and support from fans and followers across Nigeria and beyond.
