Stella Damasus, a renowned Nollywood actress, took to social media to pay a heartfelt tribute to her late husband, Jaiye Aboderin, who passed away 20 years ago.
In a poignant post, Damasus expressed her gratitude to God for the strength to navigate the difficult times following her husband’s demise.
She also acknowledged the enduring presence of Aboderin in their children’s lives, stating that he is “forever in our hearts.”
The emotional tribute sparked an outpouring of condolences and support from fans, friends, and colleagues, who praised Damasus’ resilience and devotion to her late husband.
Aboderin’s passing on December 3, 2004, sent shockwaves through the Nigerian entertainment industry, and his memory continues to be celebrated by those who knew him.
As Damasus and her family mark this significant milestone, they are reminded of the profound impact Aboderin had on their lives, and his legacy continues to inspire and uplift those who loved him.
Damasus married her first husband, Jaiye Aboderin, in 1999 when she was 21. The couple had two daughters before Jaiye died suddenly in 2004.
Damasus remarried in 2007, this time to Emeka Nzeribe. The marriage lasted for seven months before they mutually agreed to divorce.
In 2011, she became associated with multiple award-winning Nollywood producer & director Daniel Ademinokan; this eventually led to a separation in 2020 and a subsequent divorce.
Their relationship sparked a lot of controversy because both parties never publicly admitted to be dating, engaged or even married until 2014.
