A touching video from the star-studded traditional wedding of Tanzanian singer Juma Jux and Nollywood actress Iyabo Ojo’s daughter, Priscilla Ojo, has gone viral on social media, igniting discussions.
It shows Iyabo’s son Festus Ojo dancing joyfully and giving his mother’s partner Paulo Okoye an emotional embrace.
The glamorous wedding ceremony, tagged #JP2025, saw top celebrities, influencers, and dignitaries in attendance. Among the notable faces was Iyabo Ojo’s ex-husband and biological father of Priscilla and Festus, Ademidun Ojo
During the traditional rites, Ademidun was seen seated beside Iyabo Ojo as they officially handed over their daughter to her groom, Juma Jux, in a beautiful Yoruba wedding ceremony that blended tradition with elegance.
In the video, Iyabo Ojo and Paulo Okoye were seen enjoying the occasion to the fullest. The couple danced and laughed together, giving fans a glimpse of their deep affection for each other.
However, what caught many people’s attention online was not just the outfits or celebrity guests, but the strong bond between Festus and his stepfather, Paulo Okoye, at the reception.
In a now-viral video captioned “Family,” Festus Ojo is seen dancing joyfully with Paulo, before pulling him into a tight and affectionate hug. The gesture melted hearts online, with many applauding the strong father-son relationship the two seem to share despite Paulo not being his biological father.
The video sparked emotional reactions from fans. Some praised Paulo for building a strong bond with Iyabo’s children, while others noticed the distance between Festus and his biological father, who was also at the event.
