Nollywood actor Blossom Chukwujekwu and his wife, Pastor Ehinome Chukwujekwu, have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Angela-Ritsa Evanna Chukwujekwu. The birth comes four years after the couple tied the knot in 2022.
Church announces birth on Instagram
The Christ Embassy Lagos Virtual Zone Phenom church shared the news on Instagram on Sunday, revealing the baby's name. The church described the child as "this beautiful gift from the Lord" and prayed for the family's home to be filled with "divine love, joy and God's grace." The announcement drew a wave of congratulatory messages from fans, colleagues, and well-wishers.
Previous marriage and fresh start
Blossom Chukwujekwu was previously married to Maureen Esisi in a secret ceremony held in December 2015. That marriage ended in separation in September 2019 without children. His union with Ehinome, a member of the Christ Embassy church leadership family, marked a fresh start, now blessed with their first child.
Acting career and recent celebrity births
Blossom made his acting debut in 2009 and won Best Supporting Actor at the 2015 Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards for his role in Knocking on Heaven's Door. His daughter's arrival places him among several Nigerian celebrities who have become parents this year, including actress Sharon Ooja, singer Simi and her husband Adekunle Gold, and actor Lateef Adedimeji, who welcomed triplets with his wife Mo Bimpe in May.
As of the time of this report, Blossom and Ehinome have not issued a personal statement beyond the church's announcement.
