Patrick Doyle addresses speculations trailing his remarriage

Actor Patrick Doyle has finally responded to rumours surrounding his remarriage to Olufumilayo.

Recall how there were allegations and pictures of Patrick and a woman getting married in court back in January.

The seasoned actor celebrated Mother’s Day by confirming and introducing his new wife, Oluwafunmilayo, in a recent Facebook post.

The 61-year-old left out his ex-wife and actress Ireti Doyle from the list of four women who have served as mothers in his life. He wrote:

“On Mother’s Day We Are Expected To Pay Tribute To Our Mothers And All Women Who Have Played Maternal Roles In Our Lives. In My Case The 4 Women Who Had Acted In That Capacity Towards Me Are My Late Mother Angela Bassey Doyle, My Late Elder Sisters Victoria Doyle, And Ayodeji Alakija As Well As My Late Wife Rosamond Doyle.

“Today To The Glory Of God This Young Lady Has Taken Over That Role &Truth Be Told, I Have Never Been Happier In All My Life. Please Join Me In Thanking God For My New Mother, Friend & Partner For Life Oluwafunmilayo.”

Congratulatory messages immediately flooded his post.

Recall in January, Iretiola Doyle confirmed her divorce from Patrick.

“We are officially divorced,” the Tinsel actress told Chude Jideonwo in an interview.

She also corrected the impression that she had her first child at 17, noting that she was 19 when she became a mother.

Ireti and Patrick Doyle got married in 2004 and have six children together but lost one to sickle cell in 2009.

In 2017, Ireti moved out of the house after an undisclosed dispute with her husband.

Two years after, Patrick took to social media to publicly apologise to his wife after admitting he was the one who screwed up their relationship. See Patrick’s Mother’s Day post and comments that followed:
