In the words of Ebuka, media personality, people used the lockdown of 2020 to make babies.
The internet has been ablaze with surprise updates of some of our beloved celebs becoming mothers. What makes it more exciting is that the ladies were not completely away from social media, but no one within their circle gave away the information that they were expecting a baby.
First, it was a Celebrity casting director and actor Lala Akindoju who shared pictures of her maternity shoot in a royal flowing red gown with the caption ‘… becoming three’.
Her husband Chef Fregs also put up a caption following the announcement:
The Evolution 🍼❤ #Àṣéwẹ́rẹ́niṣẹ́Olúwa#ThankYouEverLastingKingOfGlory
Lala’s maternity shoot pictures were themed 'Nurture in Nature' and directed by her husband Chef Fregs:
19 weeks pregnant and the chef says let’s go do a photoshoot themed “Nurture in Nature”. He went to work - sorted outfits, location, mood board, makeup and photographer. All I did was show up. Thanks to the incredible team that made this photoshoot beautiful and easy. Loved it and loved documenting this journey. @bedgepictures you outdid yourself!
Y’all better be ready for gist. This yummy mummy is gonna be extra! #NurtureInNature
Not long after, Gbemi O-O, entrepreneur and OAP at Beat Fm Lagos shared pictures of her baby bump, with a comic video of herself imitating someone who got pregnant due to staying home with their partner during the lockdown. She had taken a long break from public social media and resumed with a slide of introducing her baby with two mugs and a baby cup in between.
On Monday morning, nobody knew that the internet would be broken by the same couple that broke it in February 2017 when they announced their engagement. This time around, they broke the internet with the announcement of Adesua’s birthday and delivery. On Adesua’s page, she shared some pictures of herself and her baby bump in a beautiful pink flowered gown with the caption:
"You have a track record of keeping your word. Ọlọrun agbaye o, you are mighty".
4 weeks ago I received the best birthday gift ever. Our Son.
Banky W also shared a post with beautiful words for his wife.
Happy birthday to my lady, my love and Purpose Partner, My world, my wife and Baby Mama. I didn't think it was possible for you to be more beautiful than you already were... but I was wrong. Because you're not just beautiful, you're strong. You're grace and favour personified, and you're so much more.
Words cannot properly express how grateful I am for you, how much I love you, or what we've been through. I'm thankful that you're mine And that God made everything beautiful in His time He turned our tears into triumph, and our loss into laughter He's changed our lives forever, here's to the next (and best) chapter Nothing I can say or do can top what He gave us My baby had a baby and he's everything we prayed for
@adesuaetomi Happy birthday "Mama Zaiah" I love you SCATTER.
No one has seen the faces of these celebrity babies, but we already know they'll be as cool as their parents.
