Veteran Nollywood actor and broadcaster Patrick Doyle has announced the arrival of a baby girl with his new wife, Funmilayo, marking a joyful new chapter in his life.
The proud father shared the news via Facebook on Saturday, revealing that the child, named Omayinuwa Mayen Harriet Doyle, was born on Friday at approximately 10:40 a.m.
Expressing deep gratitude, Doyle wrote, “To the glory of God, I announce the precious addition of a female child to my quiver. OMAYINUWA MAYEN HARRIET DOYLE was born yesterday at about 10:40 AM. Mother and child are doing well and daddy is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to God Almighty.”
The announcement quickly drew an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers across the entertainment industry.
The news comes a few years after Doyle’s former wife, Ireti Doyle, publicly confirmed their divorce in 2023. Speaking during an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on WithChude, she stated, “We are officially divorced.”
The former couple, who got married in 2004 and share children together, had long faced public speculation about their separation before eventually confirming it. Ireti later explained that she initially chose to keep details of the split private, describing it as a family matter.
Doyle’s latest announcement signals a fresh beginning, as he embraces fatherhood once again with gratitude and joy.
