Nigerian actress and comedian Wofai Fada has announced the delivery of a baby girl with her husband, Taiwo Cole.
In an Instagram post on Saturday, the actress, who has faced scrutiny from her husband’s family over their relationship, shared pictures of the baby, prompting congratulatory messages from her associates and followers alike.
Fada expressed gratitude to Almighty God for the arrival of the “precious gift,” describing the moment as joyous. She also revealed the baby’s name as Ifedayo Konaghai Cole.
“We are forever grateful to God for this precious gift. Our princess is here. My joy is complete,” Fada wrote.
Recall that on October 27 2024, the couple had their legal wedding following months of public controversy after videos from their traditional wedding in Calabar, Cross River, surfaced in May.
The legal ceremony was held at the Ikoyi Registry in Lagos State. Sharing the news with her 1.2 million Instagram followers, Fada captioned her post, “Every love story is beautiful, but ours is my favourite. Legally hitched. @taiwo.cole.7 #TWOforever. #MrsCole. #2 of 3, and forever to go.”
Shortly after the registry wedding, Taiwo’s family issued a public statement denouncing the union, according to the family patriarch, Kunle Cole.
“This serves to notify all acquaintances, family, and friends that the Cole family of Victoria Island, Lagos, is not aware of any marriage ceremony involving our son, Taiwo Olakitan Cole; nor did we grant permission or support in this regard.
“As such, person(s) parading themselves as new members of the Cole family by virtue of this purported event are neither known nor accepted by the family. All publications and documents being circulated about this should be disregarded,” the statement read.
Following the press statement by the family many gave divergent opinions on the matter.
While some advised the actress who is 4years older than Cole to respect the family and end the union so she doesn’t come up as desperate.
Others acknowledged the union noting that as long as both party are in love, they don’t necessarily need the family’s approval.
Fada’s followers and media contemporaries have since flooded the comments section to congratulate the family on the arrival of their daughter.
