Nollywood actress Olayinka Adebanjo has joyfully welcomed a baby boy, marking a poignant new chapter in her life after years of emotional struggle.

The actress shared her story on Biola Bayo’s podcast, Talk to B, reflecting on the pain of losing her only child at 28 and the stigma she endured over her age, being labeled “barren.” She tearfully recounted the challenges she faced and her enduring desire to become a mother again.

In a viral video following the podcast, Olayinka expressed gratitude to fans, friends, and Biola Bayo for their support. A nurse was seen holding her newborn as the actress thanked everyone who stood by her during her journey to motherhood.

Olayinka also revealed that she had previously attempted adoption. She traveled to Abeokuta, Ogun State, made multiple payments for the process, and kept all receipts, but ultimately abandoned the plan after a frustrating experience, choosing instead to focus on conceiving her own child.

Biola Bayo later shared a video from the fertility clinic that helped Olayinka realize her dream, revealing that the actress welcomed her baby just ten months after appearing on the podcast.

Other celebrities also embraced parenthood in 2025. Actress Georgina Ibeh announced her baby on Instagram, while Priscilla Ojo and her Tanzanian husband, Juma Jux, also welcomed a child, sharing updates with fans.
