Ebon Moss-Bachrach shakes Ayo Edebiri’s Dad’s Hand
When the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor in Comedy was announced, Ebon Moss-Bachrach proudly walked to the stage to collect his second Emmy in a row. But before that, he made sure to accept congratulations from The Bear cast sitting around him, as well as actress Ayo Edebiri’s father. The actor shook his hands with Edebiri’s dad and left the actress completely awestruck.

Despite being such an established actor, Bachrach respected her dad and politely accepted his wishes.
Edebiri was well deserving of winning the Emmy for Best Actress in Comedy this year. However, the award went to Jean Smart for Hacks. Last year, The Bear actress won in the Outstanding Supporting Actress category. With a bigger role in the show, her nomination was bumped to the lead actor category this time around. Nevertheless, fans hope the actress gets her fair share of recognition soon enough.
Who are Ayo Edebiri’s Parents?
Edebiri’s father attended the Emmy Awards ceremony this year with the actress. In fact, both her parents witnessed their daughter winning her first Emmy last year. This just goes on to show what a close relationship she shares with her parents, who are immigrants and settled in Boston to raise Edebiri. She has chosen to keep their names a secret since she wishes to avoid unnecessary attention to them.
She is the only child in the family so naturally receives all the love and affection. On many occasions, she has reiterated their support and encouragement which enabled her to make a career in the competitive industry. All we know (via People) so far is that her mother is from Barbados and her dad belongs to Nigeria. The actress often shares glimpses of her personal family life on social media.
