Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo, who turns 45 today, May 7th, 2025, received a heartwarming birthday message from his son that left him feeling deeply loved and appreciated.
In a heartfelt post on Instagram, Bolanle shared a screenshot of the message from his son, who stayed up late to wish him a happy birthday. The young man praised his father for his resilience, drive, and passion, which he believes set him apart from his peers.
The message, which Bolanle proudly shared, read:
I stayed up to wish you a happy birthday. I hope it treats you well, Dad. I love you so much, Dad. Words can’t describe how I couldn’t ask for a better dad in the world, despite all we have been through. You’re the man I’ve always looked up to and will keep looking up to forever. Your drive and passion for everything set you apart amongst your peers, and words can’t describe that I don’t know a single man like you, Dad, and that means everything to me.
I was the person to text you, I hope lol. Love you, Dad, talk to you in the morning.”
This touching tribute showcases the special bond between Bolanle and his son, who clearly looks up to him not just as a father, but as a role model.

Last year, Bolanle made headlines when he gifted his son, Keyo, a brand-new Corvette Sports car for his 18th birthday. Sharing a video of his son admiring the car, Bolanle expressed his dedication to fulfilling his fatherly duties, despite the car’s hefty price tag.
In recent months, Bolanle has been open about his personal life, particularly his separation from his wife, the mother of his two children. In September 2023, he announced the end of his marriage, stating that he had accepted the reality after several attempts to make things work. He revealed that despite the breakup, he doesn’t view his ex-wife as a mistake but rather believes their relationship was divinely ordained.
Following the separation, there have been rumors about Bolanle’s new relationship with Nollywood actress Damilola Adegbite, the ex-wife of Chris Attoh. The actor made the relationship official on Instagram by sharing a clip of himself and Damilola holding hands and walking together, signaling a new chapter in his personal life.
