Gabriel Afolayan and Wife Celebrate First Wedding Anniversary with Stunning Photos
Nigerian actor Gabriel Afolayan and his wife, Abisoye Onikosi Afolayan, popularly known as Soye, have marked their first wedding anniversary in grand style. The couple, who tied the knot in a beautiful traditional ceremony last year, shared stunning photos to commemorate the special occasion, celebrating one year of love, grace, and blessings.
In a joint post, Soye expressed her heartfelt appreciation for the past year, noting that their marriage has been filled with God’s grace and favor. She wrote a touching message to her husband, Gabriel Afolayan, affectionately calling him “Papa Bear.” Soye’s post read, “One year of God’s grace, blessings, and favor. We’re thankful. Happy anniversary to us, Papa Bear @gabbylucciii. I love you beyond words.”
The couple’s union has been blessed with twin boys, adding to the joy of their anniversary celebration. Many fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry took to the comment section to congratulate the couple on their milestone. Nigerian celebrities like Aisha Lawal, Ifeanyi Kalu, Ronke Oshodi, and Dayo Amusa were among those who left congratulatory messages, wishing the Afolayans continued happiness and blessings in their marriage.
Despite the controversy that surrounded Gabriel Afolayan’s previous marriage, the actor and his new wife have risen above the gossip to celebrate their love. In 2022, a rumor surfaced claiming that Gabriel welcomed twins with another woman while still married to his former wife, Adebanke. It was alleged that his former spouse took him to court to finalize their divorce. The actor, however, embraced his new family, celebrating the twins and moving forward with his life.
In October last year, Gabriel seemingly confirmed the rumors when he posted a photo of his twin boys and their mother to mark their birthday. His fans were delighted by the post, with many praising the actor for embracing his role as a father. Last Christmas, Gabriel also shared an adorable family photo of himself, Soye, and their twins, further solidifying his new family life.
As Gabriel Afolayan and Soye celebrate their first wedding anniversary, their love story continues to inspire fans, showing that love and grace can overcome challenges. The couple remains a beloved pair in the Nollywood industry, with fans eagerly following their journey.
