The union between the two brought about 3 male children, Gbolahan, Fisayo and Tosin the youngest. Details regarding the couple are scarce, especially the father, who seems to be absent in most parts of their lives. As at the time this post was written, we are not sure if Tosin’s father is alive or simply separated from them.
Tosin’s mother, on the other hand, supported each of her children in the best way she could. In 2018, Tosin bought a house worth £2.25 million as a gift to his dear mother. She must be very proud of her children.

Fisayo was once a footballer before deciding to dump the ball game and pursue a different part. Gbolahan the eldest, acts as Tosin’s representative and manager when it comes to situations such as signing of contracts and others. Gbolahan is a licensed FIFA Agent and the CEO of sports management company WNRS Sports, the same one managing Tosin.
PERSONAL LIFE
At the moment, we are not sure if the footballer is in any relationship. In the area of religion, this may be tricky, as Tosin attended a Roman Catholic school (St Bede's College) and has a Muslim name (Abdul-Nasir). However, since the baller hasn't come out to publicly declare his religion, we also won't choose one for him.
