Layal Tinubu has opened up about how she met her husband, Seyi Tinubu, while reflecting on his down-to-earth personality as he clocks 40.

Speaking in a special documentary released in honour of his milestone birthday, Layal described Seyi as a man who has remained genuine and consistent through the years.

“If there’s one thing everyone admires about him, it’s his authenticity,” she said. “He’s never tried to be anyone else. What you see with Seyi is exactly who he is; honest, confident, and real.”

Sharing how their love story began, Layal revealed that they first got to know each other through Facebook — an encounter that she believes set the tone for the simplicity and sincerity that define their relationship.

“There wasn’t a pickup line or any big move,” she recalled. “It was just how he carried himself—confident but easygoing, effortlessly charming. That’s what drew me to him.”

She also praised his natural ability to connect with people and make them feel valued.

“Whether it’s a room full of strangers or close friends, he has this gift of making people feel comfortable. He doesn’t try too hard—he’s just himself,” she added.

Seyi Tinubu, son of President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, has built an impressive reputation in business, philanthropy, and youth empowerment.

His 40th birthday has attracted warm tributes from prominent figures across Nigeria’s political, entertainment, and corporate sectors.
