A new layer of emotion has emerged from the glamorous wedding of Nollywood star Sola Sobowale’s daughter, Mide, and her husband, Francis Osinloye.
The ceremony, which took place in Ibadan over the weekend, was nothing short of star-studded.
High-profile guests, including Seyi Makinde and actress Aishat Lawal, graced the occasion, adding to its glamour and prestige.

However, beyond the glitz and celebration, something else caught the attention of many.
Clips from the wedding quickly circulated online, showing the groom, Francis Osinloye, with a noticeably reserved and solemn expression throughout the ceremony.
Amid the speculation, a social media user identified as @Mz_Tosyn offered a different perspective — one that has since shifted the tone of public discussion.
According to the user, the groom had recently lost his mother before the wedding.
“I don’t like what people are doing with Sola Sobowale’s son-in-law, dude lost his mom before the wedding,” the post read.
Mide and Francis’ journey began long before the wedding, with their engagement taking place in the United Kingdom in November 2024.
