Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Nengi Rebecca Hampson, has officially confirmed the birth of her baby girl, putting an end to weeks of speculation about her pregnancy.
She made the announcement on her Instagram page on Sunday, March 9, revealing that her daughter was born on February 21.
Sharing photos of her baby bump and clips from her delivery, Nengi described the experience as “the purest form of love.”
She wrote: “The purest form of love. I received the most precious gift on 21-02. My greatest blessing is my heart in human form, my purpose. God knew I needed you, my baby. I love you more than words could ever explain; it’s us forever.”
Nengi’s announcement comes after persistent social media speculation regarding her pregnancy. Some rumors even suggested that she had welcomed the child with a married governor in February.
In response, Nengi denied the claims, stating that she was not pregnant for any governor and only addressed the rumors because they involved people she deeply respects.
She wrote: “As much as I believe social media lies aren’t worth my time, I’ve come to accept that we live in a world where people are quick to spread lies without limits, so let me be clear: I’m not pregnant for any Governor.”
“I’ve chosen to speak cos this isn’t just an attack on me; it involves people I hold in the highest regard, and I won’t allow a beautiful, personal part of my life to be turned into something ugly.”
Despite the controversy, Nengi remained focused on celebrating her new journey into motherhood. “While I continue to mind my own business and enjoy my pregnancy in peace, I wish y’all love and a happy Valentine’s weekend.”
Her announcement has since been met with congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities.
