Speaking in a recent interview with The Morayo Show, the actress said she deliberately put aside her differences with her former husband to ensure their daughter enjoyed one of the happiest moments of her life without being affected by their past.

According to Iyabo, she was determined to break the cycle of broken homes that had affected previous generations in her family.

“I don’t know, there’s something called ancestral curses. And we Africans believe in it. Christians also. I believe that if you do not want something to continue, you have to be able to break it,” she said.

She revealed that both her parents were separated, a situation she did not want her children to experience.

“So I made up my mind that whatever situation had happened, because my dad and my mum were also not together, every mistake they had made that I have made, my children will not make it.

“So I had to put aside what I felt, my differences, and play my part. That’s why I said I have paid the price for her to succeed and for her to be happy in her marriage,” she added.

Iyabo stressed that despite the end of their marriage, her former husband remained Priscilla’s father and deserved to be part of such a significant occasion.

“Her father is not dead. He’s alive. So why can’t he be there? He didn’t wrong her. Me and him fell out. It has nothing to do with her.

“I made the choice to marry him. So whatever is going on between me and him is between me and him. It shouldn’t extend to my children,” she said.

The actress also dismissed claims that she was an overly strict mother, explaining that while she was firm in raising her children, they eventually understood the reasons behind her parenting approach.

Priscilla and Juma Jux tied the knot in a series of lavish wedding ceremonies held in Tanzania and Nigeria in 2025. The celebrations attracted celebrities and dignitaries from across Africa and became one of the year’s most talked-about celebrity weddings.
