Nollywood star Ibrahim Chatta sparked buzz across the entertainment industry after reuniting with his ex-wife, actress Olayinka Solomon, at the star-studded premiere of Toyin Abraham’s new film Iyalode. The event, held on June 1, 2025, at the IMAX Cinema in Lekki, Lagos, drew many top names in the industry. Chatta was seen exchanging warm pleasantries with both Olayinka and her husband, Olasunkanmi Mabinuori, in a video that quickly went viral online.
In a gesture that surprised many, Olayinka’s husband, Mabinuori, not only greeted Chatta with a hug but was also seen spraying bundles of cash on him during their interaction. The moment appeared friendly and cordial, defying the often-tense expectations associated with ex-partner dynamics. Many observers praised the maturity and respect displayed by all three individuals.
Ibrahim Chatta and Olayinka Solomon were previously married and share a son named Malik, born in 2008. Their relationship ended years ago amid reports of domestic abuse, though both parties have since moved on. Olayinka remarried in 2021 and welcomed a baby boy with Mabinuori earlier this year. Despite their past, the recent reunion seems to reflect a more peaceful chapter in their co-parenting journey.
Reactions to the video flooded social media, with many netizens commending the trio for handling the encounter gracefully. While some admired the show of unity, others speculated about the intentions behind the public display. Nevertheless, the moment offered a rare glimpse of reconciliation and mutual respect in Nollywood’s often dramatic spotlight.
