The childbirth comes six months after the Ooni welcomed a set of twins with Tobi Philips, his third wife.

Folashade tied the knot with Ooni on October 15, 2022.

She is said to be number four among the wives of the monarch. The other wives include Mariam Anako, Elizabeth Akinmuda, Temitope Adesegun, and Ronke Ademiluyi.

The Ooni was previously in three failed marriages. He married Adebukola Bombata in 2008 but the marriage crashed.

The monarch’s marriage to Zaynab Wuraola Otiti in 2016 also failed due to irreconcilable differences.

The traditional ruler went on to marry Silekunola Naomi in October 2018.

Three years later, Naomi announced their separation.

Their union produced a son named Tadenikawo.
