Omotola Jalade Ekeinde Biography
Omotola Jalada Ekeinde is a Nigerian actress and singer, most famous for her interpretation of roles than for her voice. She has been in the industry long enough to be considered a veteran.
Born in Lagos, Omotola has always had a thing for acting, and she was confident enough to not just dream but to pursue that dream as well. Her years of consistency have since paid off, as she has not only acted in many films but distinguished herself in them as well.
Together, her legacy as an actress is pretty much secure – a woman many revere not only for her acting skills but how she had been able to manage her family and stay married for almost three decades – something other actresses find extremely hard to achieve.
Family
Omotola’s extended family comprises her parents Shola and Oluwatoyin Jalade and her siblings Bolaji Jalade and Tayo Jalade.
Her immediate family is made up of her pilot husband, Matthew Ekeinde, and their children Princess Ekeinde, Matthew Ekeinde Jr, Meraiah Keinde and Michael Ekeinde.
Parents
Omotola Jalade Ekeinde’s parents are Shola Jalade and Oluwatoying Jalade. The pair birthed a famous daughter but are seldom in the news like her.
Siblings
Bolaji Jalade and Tayo Jalade are the two known siblings of the celebrated actress. Both are doing well like their thespian sister, but they are rarely in the news – unlike her.
Children
Omotola is happy to be counted as a mother of four. The celebrated actress initially gave birth to a daughter called Princess Ekeinde (Born March 30, 1997). Her other children are Matthew Ekeinde Jr, Meraiah Keinde and Michael Ekeinde – an even distribution of the ladies and the gents.
Husband
Matthew Ekeinde is one intriguing figure that many social media denizens just cannot get enough of because he was able to “snag” one of the most glamorous actresses when she was still a teen. Matthew is a trained pilot and a man after Omosexy’s heart.
He isn’t as much in the news as his wife, but when he pops in there, it is usually for good, with tweeps asking how he was able to maintain his marriage to her without any scandal, contrary to what many are conversant with in the film industry in Nigeria popularly known as Nollywood.
Lifestyle
Omotola lives on the lavish side of life but is not too public about it all. But then, it is hard not to spot class in all that she wishes to project – whether in her acting or her life and public image.
Net Worth
Omotola is one of the veterans in Nigeria’s movie industry and has accumulated so much money in that period, some of which went into investments that are fetching decent returns to this day. Of course, the actress herself would not be bothered with conversations about her net, but the public wouldn’t stop talking. Her net worth is estimated at $7.2 million.
Cars
Omotola has pretty good taste when it comes to cars and is happy to share the same with her fans. In an industry where she is seen as an icon by many, perhaps it shouldn’t be surprising that she should own some iconic wheels as well. The most notable among them is a gold-plated Rolls Royce. She also owns an Infiniti SUV, a Toyota SUV and other cars.
House
The actress reportedly used to live in the Iyana Iba area of Lagos. Reports indicate that she spent about 22 years in that location before eventually relocating with her husband to a new home. She moved to a new mansion in the Oniru area of Lagos and shared pictures of the same on her Instagram page.
In the caption, she noted that moving home has got to be the most stressful thing on earth. Well, she has since settled in with her man and deleted the Instagram post.
Movies
While much might not be heard of Omotola these days, she has already earned a secure place in the movie universe. Like her contemporary Genevieve, Omotola Jalade Ekeinde has featured in an impressive number of flicks.
Omotola’s filmography is pretty impressive, incorporating flicks like Blood Sister, Hit the Floor, A Private Storm, Shadow Parties, Last Flight to Abuja, Games Women Play, RattleSnake: The Ahanna Story, Alter Ego, and Lockdown – to mention a few.
