Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru, the wife of legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia popularly known as 2Baba, has finally broken her social media silence amid growing speculation about the arrival of their first child together.
Social Media Post Fuels Baby Rumors
On Monday, November 24, the politician returned to Instagram with an appreciation post that strongly suggested the couple had indeed welcomed their newborn. Natasha shared a heartfelt message on her Instastory that read "I serve a living God", expressing her gratitude while indirectly addressing the circulating rumors.
The most revealing part of her post came when she shared a picture featuring herself, her mother, and 2Baba's mother with the caption: "Meet the team that will do Omugo for my new prince… dem want to finish me with love." This traditional reference to "Omugo" - the Igbo practice of postpartum care - along with the mention of "my new prince" provided the strongest confirmation yet that the couple has welcomed a baby boy.
Timeline of Events Leading to Baby News
The baby rumors emerged months after 2Baba's highly publicized separation from his former wife, actress Annie Macaulay (formerly Annie Idibia). The music icon had announced the end of their 13-year marriage before introducing Natasha Osawaru as his new partner.
The couple proceeded to tie the knot in a private ceremony in August, and now with this newest addition, 2Baba welcomes his eighth child. The African Queen crooner already has seven children from previous relationships with three different women before marrying the Edo lawmaker.
Mixed Reactions from Fans and Followers
Natasha's social media post generated significant engagement from followers, with reactions ranging from warm congratulations to curious inquiries about the baby's gender and family dynamics.
One fan, Linda Ochez, commented: "I thought her fans said she delivered twin boys, that's what I saw on a post." Meanwhile, Queenjenny Val expressed support writing: "One woman 10 mopol na you go make 2face stop woman things. I love your energy."
Several comments praised Natasha's apparent good relationship with her husband's family, with Portia Patrick Oshobugie Upiomoh noting: "You deserve the love. Na daughter inlaw wey no wan cut man family off, nai husband family dey show love to."
Emmanuel Ode Amari offered congratulations: "Congratulations my sister. Your love for husband's family is a thing of joy as well. Not every woman understand that. More children coming your way in Jesus name."
2Baba's Heartfelt Birthday Tribute to Natasha
The baby news comes shortly after 2Baba celebrated his wife's birthday on Friday, November 13, with a touching tribute. The singer penned a heartfelt message describing how Natasha had brought him peace and happiness in their relationship.
This public declaration of affection came around the same time his estranged wife Annie Macaulay marked her 41st birthday, embracing what appears to be a new chapter in her life as well.
As the Omugo traditions begin and the family adjusts to their newest member, fans continue to shower the couple with blessings and well-wishes for this exciting new phase in their lives together.
