Veteran actor Patrick Doyle has announced the death of his newborn daughter.

The 66-year-old shared the news on Facebook on Sunday, revealing that the child died on Saturday.

“Omayinuwa visited us briefly at about 10:40 am on Friday 10th April and returned to heaven on Saturday 11th of April at about 4:15 pm. Her stay was short but it brought great joy with it. We would wished 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,” he wrote.

The announcement comes shortly after QEDng reported on Saturday that the actor and his wife Funmilayo had welcomed the baby.

The actor had shared the news, writing, “To the glory of God I announce the precious addition of a female child to my quiver. OMAYINUWA MAYEN HARRIET DOYLE was born yesterday at about 10:40 AM. Mother and child are doing well and daddy is overwhelmed with joy and gratitude to God Almighty,” he had written.

Patrick married Funmilayo at a registry in August 2022, following the end of his previous marriage to actress Ireti Doyle.
