via her Instagram page on Wednesday,<br />

June 8, 2022.<br />

“That smile when it’s all over and<br />

you’re holding your baby in your arms.<br />

Labour was Long. Like, really Long. I<br />

thought y’all said Labour gets shorter<br />

with subsequent babies?” she wrote.<br />

The actress and her husband already<br />

have two daughters before the arrival of<br />

their baby boy.<br />

Okujaye got married to her husband,<br />

Egbo in 2015. The couple had a very<br />

glamorous wedding ceremony which<br />

was held in Lagos.<br />

She rose to prominence in 2015 from<br />

her lead role in the Africa Magic T.V.<br />

series, ‘Hotel Majestic.’<br />

Temi Otedola, Mr Eazi hint on<br />

preferred privATE wedding<br />

Popular Nigerian singer, Mr. Eazi and his fiancée,<br />

billionaire heiress, Temi Otedola, have hinted that they will be<br />

tying the knot in an intimate ceremony with few attendees.<br />

The love birds who recently announced their engagement<br />

made this revelation in a podcast speaking about their<br />

engagement and preparation for their wedding.<br />

Mr. Eazi stated that he would love to have only close<br />

family members attend their wedding, and his future wifeto-be<br />

agreed, noting that she would also prefer an intimate<br />

wedding because she is a very private person.<br />

According to Temi who is also an actress, if it were up to<br />

her, she would only have ten people at their wedding. “Like<br />

knowing me if I’m walking around my wedding venue and I’m<br />

like I don’t know this person that will annoy me because I’m a<br />

very private person. Even for a birthday party, I have to really<br />

rock with everyone there,” Temi said to support her partner’s<br />

claims.
