Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has sparked reactions on social media after revealing that she concealed her pregnancy from her baby’s father.
The actress shared a throwback video from her pregnancy days on TikTok, prompting a flood of comments from fans and followers.
Responding to the post, one admirer praised her ability to keep personal matters private, writing, “You sabi keep secret ma.”
The comment section quickly became a hub of mixed reactions, with some social media users finding humour in the revelation while others questioned the decision.
One user, identified as @cherii_coco, remarked that the actress was simply giving people something to talk about and teasing her followers. Another, @quinslilly, questioned whether such a revelation was something to be proud of.
Others suggested she was joking, while some pointed out that the information could no longer be considered a secret since it had now been shared publicly. A few commenters speculated that Adunni might be attempting to shield the identity of the child’s father from public scrutiny.
Another user humorously noted that she had “run away” with someone’s pregnancy, while others suggested she may have been determined to have and raise the child regardless of the father’s level of involvement.
The revelation comes months after the actress disclosed that she welcomed a baby girl with her partner two years ago. While celebrating her birthday, Adunni reflected on her journey into motherhood, describing it as a challenging experience marked by silent battles and personal growth.
She also addressed public perceptions surrounding single mothers, stressing that not every single mother’s story is rooted in scandal or controversy.
Following the birthday celebration, the actress shared photographs from an intimate family gathering. One of the images captured a touching moment between her and her daughter, which she said reminded her that although she may not have a large circle of friends, she is blessed with the love and support of her family.
Earlier, Adunni had also corrected misconceptions about her age after a cinematographer offered to cover what he assumed would be her 50th birthday celebration in 2026. The actress responded by noting that she was not even 48 years old, while commenting on Nigerians’ fascination with age.
The mother of three has previously spoken openly about the challenges she faced as a young single mother. She recounted the emotional impact of discovering she was pregnant while still in senior college and the disappointment it caused her father.
According to her, learning she was expecting her first child felt overwhelming, as several life-changing events occurred simultaneously. She also revealed that she became pregnant again four years later and initially struggled with the prospect of reliving the same emotional difficulties.
Despite the challenges, Adunni said she remained focused on building a successful future for herself and her children, drawing strength from her experiences as a mother.
Responding to the fan, Adunni revealed that her baby’s father didn’t even know she was pregnant until days before her naming. She assured the fan that she was used to keeping secrets, and her daughter’s birth was no different.
“Papa wey no know until days to naming. No worry, na so I dey do. This one isn’t different walahi”.
