I don’t have any problem with being a second wife or marrying a widower. As long as he loves me and treats me well, I don’t care about his past. I believe everyone deserves a second chance at happiness,” she said.
Toriola rose to fame with her role in Isese Lagba in 2009, has featured in many movies such as Alakada Reloaded, Queen Lateefah, and Our Love Story. She has also produced several films, including Ajewunmi, My Past, and Ayo Ife.

“I know some people may not like it, but it’s my life and my choice. I’m not here to please anyone. I’m here to live my life and be happy. I don’t care about titles or labels. I care about love and respect,” she said.
Toriola also said she has a good relationship with her ex-husband and his family, and that they still support each other. She said she has no regrets about her marriage, and that it was a learning experience for her.
“I don’t have any bitterness or hatred towards him. We just grew apart and decided to go our separate ways. We are still friends and we still talk. He is a good man and I wish him all the best,” she said.
Toriola, who has a son named Zion from her previous marriage, said she is not ruling out having more children in the future. She said she loves being a mother and that her son is her priority.
“My son is my everything. He is my joy and my strength. He is the reason I wake up every day and work hard. He is my blessing and I thank God for him. I would love to have more children someday, but only with the right man,” she said.
