According to sources close to Oba Adeyeye, the King was in a very serious relationship with Tobi Phillips, who he started dating following his separation.

She is a native of Okitipupa, Ondo State and has reportedly been with the Ooni for over 6 years.

Oba's love life: Before his coronation in 2016, Oba Adeyeye was previously married to Adebukola Bombata in 2008, but the marriage failed after his coronation.

Ooni’s new marriage is coming ten months after Queen Naomi took to social media to announce her separation from the monarch in December 2021. The failed union, which lasted for three years, produced a son Tadenikawo.
