As Dorathy Bachor has rightfully said, “2026 is raining babies.” The year 2026 has already recorded several baby announcements and new arrivals across Nigeria’s entertainment space, with multiple celebrities confirming their pregnancy news.
Let’s get into it: 
1. Temi Ajibade
Temi Ajibade, actress, fashion personality, and daughter of businessman Femi Otedola, announced her pregnancy today via Instagram. She shared a photo showing her baby bump alongside a caption drawn from scripture: “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, Before you were born I set you apart.”
She married singer Mr Eazi in 2025 after a few years of dating, and their union has often been described as one that blends music, fashion, and quiet public admiration.
This announcement marks a deeply personal shift for Temi, who has not often kept her private life in the public space.
2. Sharon Ooja
Actress Sharon Ooja, known for her roles in Nollywood films and series, shared news of the birth of her baby boy on Instagram. Her message reflected gratitude, emotional depth, and the reality of pregnancy behind closed doors.
She is married to Ugo Nwoke, a businessman, and they got married in 2024. In her post, she spoke warmly about his support throughout the pregnancy, describing how he showed up through every stage in ways that made the journey easier to carry.
For Sharon, this moment feels like a quiet transition into a new identity, one she had kept away from public attention until now.
3. Mobimpe Adedimeji
Actors Lateef Adedimeji and Mobimpe Adedimeji, one of Nollywood’s most recognised couples, announced the arrival of their triplets on May 1, 2026.
Lateef, known for his powerful performances across Yoruba and English films, and Mo Bimpe, an actress and producer with a strong digital presence, revealed they had welcomed three boys. Mo Bimpe’s message made it clear that she had chosen privacy through most of the pregnancy, focusing on protection and peace over public attention.
The couple got married in 2021, and what began as a public love story in the entertainment industry has now grown into a family of five in one moment after years of trying to conceive.
4. Simi
Simi and Adekunle Gold welcomed their second child on March 10, 2026, adding another baby to a marriage already known for its quiet strength and mutual respect.
Simi, a singer and songwriter with a distinctive voice in Nigerian music, is married to Adekunle Kosoko, popularly known as Adekunle Gold. They got married in 2019, and since then have maintained a balance between public creativity and private family life.
Their pregnancy was first hinted at through Adekunle Gold’s music video “My Love Is the Same,” a creative reveal that matched their artistic personalities rather than a traditional announcement.
5. Veekee James
Fashion designer Veekee James and her husband Femi Atere welcomed their first child, a baby girl, on May 2, 2026.
Veekee, known for her luxury bridal designs and detailed craftsmanship in fashion, announced her pregnancy earlier in February 2026, sharing that the journey to motherhood had been one they prayed about for a long time.
She and Femi Atere got married in 2024, and their marriage has been closely followed for its public expressions of love and shared spiritual grounding. Their first child marks a major chapter in a relationship that has grown quickly.
6. Ini Dima-Okojie
Actress Ini Dima-Okojie, known for her work in the film industry where she often plays emotionally layered characters, shared her pregnancy news on April 22, 2026.
Ini is married to Abasi Ene-Obong, an entrepreneur and biotech founder, and they got married in 2022.
She posted a video showing her baby bump with a caption that reflected gratitude. She later confirmed she is expecting a baby boy through a gender-reveal update today.
7. Linda Cyril
TikTok creator Linda Cyril first shared her pregnancy in December 2025 through photos with her husband, writing, “even miracles take a little time.”
She later updated her audience on April 17, 2026, referring to her son in a soft and emotional post that confirmed she had stepped into motherhood.
Linda is married to Nwakuba Udochukwu, and they got married in 2021. Known for her lifestyle content on TikTok, her journey into motherhood unfolded in a very personal way because she was often insulted by trolls for not having a child.
8. Chidera
Yinka Ash, founder of Ashluxe, one of Nigeria’s most recognisable luxury streetwear brands, and Chidera, founder of Zentaii, a skincare brand, announced their pregnancy on May 13, 2026 through a funny stitch video that quickly gained attention online.
They got married in 2024, and their announcement now marks a new chapter in their relationship as they step into parenthood together while continuing to grow their individual brands within Nigeria’s lifestyle and beauty industry.
