Nollywood star David Nnaji is celebrating a remarkable double blessing in 2025, having welcomed his second child with his wife, Amanda, just ten months after the birth of their first son.
A Rare Double Blessing in One Year
The actor shared the joyful news on his Instagram page on Monday, December 16, 2025, posting photos from a maternity shoot. In his caption, a grateful Nnaji revealed the newborn's name as David Ugochukwu Nnaji and highlighted the unique timing of the births.
"Father for the fourth time by God's grace. Twice in 2025, what a blessing," he wrote. The couple's first son was born in February 2025, making the arrival of their second baby within the same calendar year a rare occurrence that quickly captured public attention.
A Promise of Care and Recognition
In a heartfelt tribute, the 40-year-old actor praised his wife's strength, describing her as an "absolute gift." Acknowledging the immense physical and emotional toll of undergoing labour twice in one year, Nnaji made a significant promise to his spouse.
He publicly committed to supporting her with a dedicated two-year rest period, stating she deserved ample time to recover and be cared for after such an intense journey. This gesture resonated deeply with fans, who applauded the actor for recognizing and prioritizing his wife's wellbeing.
Celebrations and Controversial Echoes
As congratulatory messages poured in from colleagues and fans across social media, the news also revived discussions about Nnaji's past. The actor was previously married to Nigerian singer Joy Eseoghene Odiete, known as Jodie, with whom he has a son named Chinualumogu.
Past interviews resurfaced where Jodie, a single mother, detailed the challenges of raising their child, who has special needs. She has previously accused Nnaji of abandonment and claimed he collected royalties from her popular song "Kuchi Kuchi" without her benefiting financially.
These past allegations led to mixed reactions online, with some comments under the birth announcement congratulating the family, while others referenced the ongoing situation with his first son.
Despite the swirling online commentary, the focus for David and Amanda Nnaji remains on their growing family and the unique joy of welcoming two children in the span of a single year.
