The duo attended the remembrance ceremony for the late mother of veteran actress Mama Ereko, where they appeared in matching Ankara outfits that immediately drew attention on social media.

Photos shared by Laide Bakare on Instagram triggered a wave of reactions from fans, many of whom questioned the nature of their relationship following a series of coordinated public appearances.

Social media users flooded the comment section with mixed reactions, with some expressing confusion while others joked about the consistency of their public outings.

The online buzz reflects growing curiosity around the pair, who have continued to appear together in matching outfits on several occasions over the past year.

During last year’s Christmas celebration, Laide Bakare shared photos of herself and Odobodo Motolani in matching pyjamas, suggesting a close bond and describing the moment as one where “love conquers all”.

Motolani also posted images from the same celebration, noting that what was expected to be a lonely Christmas turned into a shared experience after she joined him.

In March, the actress posted further loved-up photos of them in traditional attire, describing their bond as built on trust, laughter, respect and mutual understanding.

She maintained that despite public opinion, both parties had chosen to follow their hearts in defining their relationship.

However, the posts have continued to divide opinion among fans, with some questioning the nature of their union while others defended their right to privacy.

Laide Bakare has previously stated in interviews that she values respect and boundaries in relationships, adding that no man would enter her home unless they are married.

The actress has been married twice in the past. Her first marriage was to American-based businessman Olumide Okufulure, with whom she has a daughter.

She later married Alhaji Mutairu Atanda Orilowo in 2012 in a private ceremony, and the union produced two sons before their eventual separation.
