Actress Biola Adebayo has surprised her senior colleague, Dupe Jaiyesimi, with a car gift to celebrate Mother’s Day. The gesture comes weeks after Dupe opened up about her struggles with motherhood during an interview with Biola. The actress had expressed deep sorrow over not having children to celebrate her 60th birthday with her. She recounted a past pregnancy that ended due to an ectopic condition, which led to complications. Following the loss, her marriage hit the rocks after her husband brought another woman into their home—one who was expecting his child. This situation forced Dupe to walk away from the marriage, and she has remained single ever since. In her pursuit of motherhood, Dupe attempted in vitro fertilization (IVF) twice, both of which failed. She also considered adoption but was discouraged by her late mother. In a video shared on Instagram on Sunday, Biola Adebayo surprised Dupe with the car gift, bringing the actress to tears. Singers were also seen performing motherly songs before Biola offered prayers for her. Sharing the video, Biola wrote: “HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY MUMMY @dupe_jayesimi. “To everyone that made this dream a reality in just a few days, I say a very THANK YOU TO YOU ALL. To all the Talk-To-B supporters, I’m very grateful for the support, I couldn’t have done this without you all. “I’m so happy we could put a big smile on her face.”
