Mercy Aigbe celebrates daughter Michelle as she turns 24 today, showering her with love and gratitude in a touching birthday post on Instagram.
It’s a proud and emotional day for Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe as her daughter, Michelle Gentry, clocks 24. Taking to Instagram, the actress shared stunning photos of her lookalike daughter and penned a short but powerful message to mark the occasion.
Mercy Aigbe celebrates daughter Michelle as she turns 24, calling her “my first fruit” and “the entire love of my life.”
Happy 24th birthday to my first fruit, the entire love of my life @michelleio__,” she wrote, alongside breathtaking photos of Michelle.
The birthday post quickly drew warm wishes from fans and fellow celebrities. Aigbe’s husband, Kazim Adeoti, joined in, sending his love and blessings:
Happy birthday, Michelle. God bless and protect you, darling.”
Other stars like Aisha Lawal, Ekene Umenwa, Efe Irele, and Ruth Inneh also filled the comment section with sweet birthday messages.
Just last month, Mercy had celebrated her son’s birthday with similar love, calling him her sunshine and praying for him. She had also highlighted his pure and beautiful heart in an emotional tribute.
Over the years, Aigbe has openly shared her parenting journey—one that hasn’t been without its challenges. During the premiere of My Mother Is A Witch, she recalled a painful moment when she accidentally hit Michelle with a bucket as a child, a memory that left her daughter traumatised. She used the moment to urge other parents to engage in more open conversations with their children.
Michelle’s graduation in 2023 was another emotional milestone. Mercy revealed then how difficult it was as a struggling single mother. She said she couldn’t afford to accompany Michelle to school abroad and nearly brought her back to Nigeria to finish her education—but God saw them through.
In another post, the actress proudly declared that she had raised a queen and praised Michelle’s inner strength, grace, and discipline. She assured her daughter of her unwavering support through every stage of life.
