Nollywood Yoruba actress Adebanke Awa, popularly known as Debanke, has shared the joyous news that she is expecting her first child.
The actress, who is celebrating her birthday today, revealed her pregnancy via Instagram, marking this milestone as the “best birthday gift ever.” Dressed in black and gently cradling her baby bump, Debanke shared the heartwarming moment with her followers, expressing her excitement and gratitude.
Debanke’s announcement has been met with an outpouring of love and congratulations from her colleagues in the industry. Fellow actresses and friends took to her comment section to send their best wishes. Notable reactions include messages from Debbie Shokoya, who wrote, “Thank you, Lord. Congratulations sweetie,” and Mercy Aigbe, who shared, “Congratulations my love.” Other stars like Seyi Edun, Seiilat, Kiitan Bukola, and Nkechi Blessing also flooded her post with congratulatory notes, adding their warm wishes for a healthy and prosperous journey ahead.
This announcement comes months after Debanke got engaged to her partner. In September of last year, she shared a touching video of her lover proposing to her, which she excitedly accepted. The actress flaunted her engagement ring and expressed that “forever starts now.”
Her engagement followed a turbulent period in her personal life, including a scandal involving actor Ibrahim Yekini, known as Itele, with whom she was rumored to have had an affair, creating tension within the industry. Despite this, Debanke has emerged stronger, celebrating both her personal and professional milestones.
