Actress and fashion influencer Temi Otedola is expecting her first child with her husband, Afrobeats star Mr Eazi. The couple confirmed the news on Thursday in a heartfelt announcement that quickly sent social media into celebration mode.
The announcement came through a joint Instagram post featuring a series of elegant black-and-white maternity photographs, along with a short video from their pregnancy shoot. The intimate images captured tender moments between the couple and drew an outpouring of admiration from fans and fellow celebrities alike.
In the caption accompanying the post, Temi shared a Bible verse from Jeremiah 1:5: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” The deeply personal message offered followers a glimpse into the emotional significance of the moment for the couple.
The announcement also put an end to months of speculation surrounding a possible pregnancy. Rumours had circulated online since early this year, with fans closely following Temi’s public appearances and social media activity. However, the couple chose to keep the journey private until they were ready to share the news on their own terms.
Temi later spoke about the experience in an exclusive interview with People magazine, revealing that she discovered she was pregnant during the couple’s honeymoon at the end of 2025. According to her, the two-month digital detox across South Korea and Japan was intended to help them recover from an intense year filled with wedding celebrations and public attention.
Their wedding journey spanned multiple countries and ceremonies, including a court wedding in Monaco, a traditional Nigerian ceremony in Dubai, and a church wedding in Iceland. Following the celebrations, Temi officially adopted her husband’s surname, updating her social media profiles to reflect the name Ajibade.
The 30-year-old daughter of billionaire businessman Femi Otedola admitted that the early months of pregnancy were physically demanding, describing the first trimester as a period of exhaustion and “all-day sickness.” Despite the challenges, she said pregnancy has taught her to embrace a slower pace of life.
“I love how pregnancy forces you to slow down,” she told People.
Meanwhile, Mr Eazi, whose real name is Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, has reportedly remained closely involved throughout the journey, supporting his wife as they prepare to welcome their first child together.
