This revelation came after he’d been legally separated from his former wife, Anita, who had filed for divorce citing several issues.

I don divorce sef before I found Ifeoma, so make una just calm down.”
In another joyous story, Nigerian R&B star Bankole Wellington, known as Banky W, and his wife, actress Adesua Etomi, recently welcomed their second child, a baby boy. Celebrating his growing family, Banky W took to Instagram, posting a heartfelt video that captures his journey into family life.

Emphasising the importance of partnership, he said, “Partnership is 100-100, not 50-50. That means that in this season, I’ve been a chef, housekeeper, nanny, homework teacher, masseuse, and more all as part of my duty as a supportive husband and present father of two. And honestly, I couldn’t be happier.”
Reflecting on the value of sharing responsibilities, Banky continued, “Supporting Women’s Economic Power means doing my part in our home.”
