STELLA DAMASUS BECOMES A BILLIONAIRE 20 YEARS AFTER 1ST HUSBAND'S DEATH

Not too long ago, award-winning Nollywood actress and producer Stella Damasus sparked questions on social media after commemorating the 20th remembrance anniversary of her late first husband, Jaiye Abodunrin. In a video she shared on her Instagram page on December 3 2024, the screen diva visited Jaiye’s graveside alongside her daughters and a few friends and family, all of whom wore customised tee-shirts to honour the deceased. While surrounding his resting place, they all took turns praying fervently for Jaiye’s soul to continue resting in peace amidst tears. Naturally, this gesture would be seen as an expression of love. Still, it was questioned by millions of Nigerians who couldn’t help but wonder why the actress was at her first husband’s graveside despite remarrying two times since he passed 20 years ago.
Less than 24 hours later, people’s curiosity was quenched with reports confirming that the actress had officially joined the Billionaire Club, thanks to her late husband. According to celebrity journalist Stella Dimoko Korkus, the Deltan beauty, who has been living in the US for several years, temporarily relocated to Nigeria to access the trust fund set up by her late husband’s family for their two daughters. The trust fund, under Jaiye’s family’s care, reportedly accumulated 3.5 billion Naira. Now, as a loving mother to her daughters, who are all grown and university graduates, she is in charge of the account.
Since Jaiye tragically passed away, Stella Damasus commemorates his death each year. On social media, the 46-year-old movie producer expresses deep emotional reflections about how much she loves and misses him. However, now that people see there was a catch, they question whether Stella Damasus truly misses her ex-husband or if she remembers him solely for the trust fund.
