In a touching yet pointed birthday message, Lanre Gentry, the ex-husband of Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe, reached out to their son, Juwon, with a heartfelt note amidst ongoing tensions with his former wife.
On his Instagram account, Gentry shared a warm birthday tribute to Juwon, who turned a year older today. Accompanying a series of father-son photos, he wrote,
Quote
“No matter how your mother tries to take you away from me, I still remain your father. Happy birthday, my dear son, Juwon. Daddy loves you always.”
The message highlights the strained relationship between Gentry and Aigbe, who have had a tumultuous history since their separation. Despite their differences, Gentry’s post emphasized his unwavering love and commitment to maintaining a bond with his son.

As the birthday celebrations continue, fans and followers alike are reminded of the importance of parental bonds and the enduring love between a father and his child, regardless of external circumstances.
The Instagram post by Gentry sparked a mixed reaction among social media users. While many commended him for his heartfelt message, others urged both parents to work towards a more amicable relationship for the sake of their son.
One user commented, "Happy birthday to Juwon! Parents should always put their children first, no matter what." Another added, "This is so touching. I hope you and Mercy can find peace for Juwon's sake."
