Naijabrain reported that Dayo welcomed her son, Oluwafirewamiri, last November. Grateful for her long-awaited blessing, Dayo expressed deep appreciation to God and shared her joy at becoming a mother.
Over the months, she has continued to update fans on his growth. At seven months, she celebrated him as her “rainbow after the storm,” revealing his first words and new milestones. At six months, she shared more adorable photos, noting how quickly time passes and how proud she and his father are to be his parents.
During the naming ceremony, many noticed the absence of her son’s father, with colleague Damola Olatunji standing in for him—sparking conversations online. Responding, Dayo questioned why people were concerned, asking if their own husbands were missing.
In December, just before Christmas, Dayo shared a heartfelt testimony, revealing she had suffered three miscarriages and recalling how her ex-husband abandoned her during her struggle with infertility and went on to impregnate someone else.
Earlier this year, in February, she opened up further about her journey to motherhood, recounting moments of emotional breakdown and desperation as she pleaded with God after undergoing several medical tests and surgeries.
