Nigerian actress and fashion influencer Temi Otedola says pregnancy has changed her perspective on life as she prepares to welcome her first child with husband Mr Eazi.
The 30-year-old, also known as Temi Ajibade after marriage, shared that she feels “extremely blessed and grateful” as she and the singer begin a new chapter together.
“We are beyond excited to start our family and welcome a little one to our cocoon of two. We’re feeling extremely blessed and grateful for this big next step!” she said.
Temi revealed exclusively to People that she discovered she was pregnant shortly after the couple completed a series of weddings in 2025. The pair held ceremonies in Monaco, Dubai and Iceland before embarking on a two-month honeymoon across Asia.
“After wrapping up three weddings in 2025—a court in Monaco, a traditional Nigerian wedding in Dubai, and a church wedding in Iceland—we wanted to end the year with a 2-month, digital-detoxed honeymoon, travelling across Korea and Japan,” she said. “That’s when we found out!”
According to her, sharing the news with family and close friends has been one of the most emotional parts of the journey.
“It’s been the greatest news to share,” she said. “With our family and friends living across every continent, we shared with as many of them as we could in real life, giving them our ultrasound printouts as a surprise. I also celebrated my 30th birthday this March in Mallorca—and was able to tell most of my closest friends there.”
Although the couple has decided not to reveal the baby’s sex yet, Temi said they have already started discussing possible names with relatives.
“My husband and I send each other names all the time on WhatsApp,” she shared. “We’ve also asked our parents to give us name ideas, as is Nigerian tradition.”
The actress also opened up about the physical realities of pregnancy, admitting that her first trimester was difficult because of constant sickness and exhaustion.
“For the first trimester, I was really feeling the fatigue and morning sickness (well, all day sickness), but as the months progressed, I’ve been so grateful to feel stronger and more energized,” she said.
Still, she said the experience has helped her embrace a slower pace after years of being constantly busy.
“I love how pregnancy forces you to slow down. I’ve been gradually slowing down my routine, prioritizing my goals and looking inward,” she shared. “It’s also a beautiful time to spend with loved ones and celebrate the coming of new life.”
