Damola, who was unbothered by the separation took to his Instagram page to celebrate, as he shared a video of himself enjoying life.
In a follow-up post, Damola Olatunji who remained unbothered, shared a dapper photo of himself, in his hashtag, he described himself as a grace carrier and a man without worries.
On Father’s Day in June, Olatunji shared a powerful message, stating that a father’s tears and fears are unseen, and his love is unexpressed but his care and protection remain as a pillar of strength throughout the lives of his seeds.
In a message to his twins, he added that his silence is out of love and respect for them.
