Nollywood actress Debbie Shokoya is joyfully embracing motherhood after a challenging journey.
Last month, she welcomed her first child, a baby girl named Khairat Ayokunmi Ejalonibu, with her husband. The announcement was made by her colleague Seiilat, and a naming ceremony followed shortly after, attended by friends like Dayo Amusa.
Debbie has since been sharing her gratitude and joy on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she expressed her profound thanks to her Maker, saying,
My Testimony Is Countless!! I Am Grateful Lord. On A Sunny Sunday With My Sunshine. Mummy K.”
The actress has opened up about her pregnancy journey, reflecting on how she initially feared she had lost her baby. She shared that despite early concerns about high prolactin levels, which she feared might indicate complications, her faith and perseverance led to a successful pregnancy. Debbie noted that although the devil tried to use her past trauma against her, God blessed her with her daughter, showing her immense gratitude.
This new chapter follows a deeply painful experience for Debbie. In August 2023, she tearfully shared on Instagram that she lost a pregnancy at eight months, recounting the emotional and physical sacrifices she made for her unborn child. Despite this heartache, she found strength and resilience, dedicating a movie to her lost child and reflecting on how the experience made her stronger.
