Ayo Edebiri Parents Dele Edebiri and Helen O'Neal-Edebiri

Ayo Edebiri was born to parents Dele Edebiri and Helen O'Neal-Edebiri in Boston, Massachusetts, US. Her family raised her in a religious Pentecostal household.

Talking to Forbes, the young star said, "I grew up very Pentecostal." She further added that there's some sort of puritanical self-flagellation that she is very good at doing.

And while raised very religiously, she was pulled to comedy at a relatively young age. She didn't think of doing comedy full-time until she moved to New York and realized it could be a career.

From the beginning, Edebiri always received all the love and support from her family, which helped her a lot in pursuing her dream. After moving to NY, she began preparing to pursue comedy as a college junior.

Her father Dele Edebiri

Ayo Edebiri father Dele emigrated to the United States from Benin, Nigeria. He serves as the manager at the Commonwealth of mass, DIA, in Boston, Massachusetts.

The comedian usually shares loving pictures of herself with her dad on her Instagram, generally talking about her upbringing. 

She also stated that she stole her personality from him. In the comment section, she mentioned her father and asked if he liked it. "You two have the exact same smile," one comment said.

On June 20, 2021, she uploaded another childhood picture with her dad and said her dad hadn't responded to her thoughtful test, so she sought gratification elsewhere.

Dele is also active on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. On Ig, he is found under the username @deleedebiri -he has two posts and 210 followers as of writing.

Mother Helen O'Neal-Edebiri

Ayo Edebiri mother Helen is originally from Barbados. She is a businesswoman and the owner of May Kay Home Base Business in Boston.

The comedian often references her mother and says she loves and adores her a lot. She regularly shares beautiful pictures of Helen on her Instagram and marks special days such as Mother's Day.

In May 2020, while sharing her writing about her favorite TV mom, Tichina Armold, for Vogue, on Instagram, she didn't forget to mention her own mom and stated, "I love my mom."

Back in 2018 Christmas, she shared a beautiful family picture, featuring her dad, mom, and herself, and wished all her followers and close ones the happiest Christmas. She wrote, "Happy Christmas from me and family."

In February 2019, Edebiri, her mom, her dad, and her friend Rachel Sennott had a wonderful time together. They also clicked some pictures, which the comedian shared on her IG.
