VIDEO: Nollywood Actor, Baba Ijesha, Welcomes Baby Boy Seven Months After Prison Release

Nollywood actor, Baba Ijesha has welcomed a baby boy.

NewsRain Nigeria reports that Actor Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, has announced the birth of his son.

The actor disclosed this in an Instagram post on Monday, sharing a maternity photoshoot featuring himself and his wife.

Expressing gratitude to God, Baba Ijesha revealed that the couple welcomed a baby boy named King Kagar Omiyinka.

He wrote, “In quiet ways, in unseen ways, God has been writing a story only He could tell. We thank the Almighty for blessing us with a healthy baby boy.

“God gave me more than I prayed for. My ever beautiful wife, strong Jagaban, Abikese de mi owo, @ceolumineeofficial, who became the mother of my son, King Kagar Omiyinka.”

The announcement attracted congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry.

Recall that before Monday’s announcement, Ms Tokunbo was widely known among her followers as a single mother and celebrity fashion designer for top Yoruba actresses, including Toyin Abraham.

Neither she nor Baba Ijesha has publicly clarified when their relationship began or when they got married.

While Baba Ijesha referred to Ms Tokunbo as his wife in his announcement, she did not specifically describe him as her husband in her own post.

Baba Ijesha’s announcement of the birth of his child marked the third time he had publicly spoken about his romantic relationships.

Beyond his failed marriage, the comic actor also disclosed during his trial that actress and comedienne Damilola “Princess” Adekoya was once his lover.

In March, during an appearance on actress Biola Adebayo’s “Talk to B” podcast, Baba Ijesha spoke about a previous marriage, which he said deteriorated after his wife relocated to the United Kingdom.

Also, recall that Baba Ijesha was released from prison in November 2025 after serving a jail term following his conviction in a child sexual assault case that generated widespread public debate about child protection and accountability within Nigeria’s entertainment industry.

Since his release, the actor has gradually returned to public life through interviews, social media appearances, and public engagements.

Monday’s announcement marks one of the most significant personal developments the actor has publicly shared since leaving prison and signals a new chapter in his private life, even as public discussions around his conviction continue.
