Renown actor and broadcaster Patrick Doyle, has announced the death of his newborn daughter, Omayinuwa Harriet.
Omayinuwa passed a day after Doyle announced her birth with his third wife, Funmilayo.
The actor had on Friday shared on Facebook that both Funmilayo and their daughter were in good health.
However, in a post on Sunday, he announced that Omayinuwa had died on Saturday at about 4:15 p.m.
The Delta-born actor described her brief time with him, his wife, and their family as one that brought great joy.
He wrote: “Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40 am on Friday, 10th April and returned to heaven on Saturday, 11th April at about 4:15 pm. Her stay was short, but it brought great joy.
“We would wish for a longer stay, but, alas, heaven thought otherwise. This much we know, though: God still rules in the affairs of men. Our faith in the goodness of God remains resolute regardless. Sibe’ sibe’ Oluwa n’be’. It is well with our soul.”
In June 2025, the 65-year-old married Funmilayo, who was 27.
The actor who lost his first wife, Rosamond Ndidi Doyle, to sickle cell disease in 1999,married Funmilayo after divorcing actress Iretiola Doyle.
