Adunni Ade has revealed that she is now a mother of three, confirming she privately gave birth to her daughter more than two years ago before sharing the news publicly.

The Nollywood actress announced in an Instagram post shared on Sunday, explaining that she and her partner chose to keep the birth out of the public eye so they could enjoy the experience in peace. She did not reveal her partner’s identity.

“Today, on my birthday, I’m finally sharing what we’ve protected for over two years,” she wrote alongside pictures of herself during pregnancy and a close-up image of her daughter’s hand,” she wrote.

She went on to describe the emotional journey behind the private birth.

“This wasn’t an easy journey. It came with silent battles, moments that tested me, and a strength I had to grow into.

“While the world saw one version of me, I was living something much deeper, much more personal.”

Explaining her decision to maintain privacy, she added:

“Not every single mother fits your assumptions. Not every story is a scandal. Not every blessing comes with drama attached,” she said.

“God gave me mine. Fully. Peacefully. Intentionally. Not ‘another woman’s man’, all in the name of clicks.

“A journey of almost a decade! Almighty blessed us with our first child together. Our baby girl, our answered prayer, my evidence that God still writes beautiful stories in His own time.”

She referred to her daughter as Baby Sal and thanked friends, family, and supporters for their encouragement over the years. “P.S. No single home is or was broken in the making of our Baby Sal. It’s always love,” she added.
