Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has reacted with disbelief following the announcement that celebrity designer Luminee has welcomed a child with Yoruba actor Baba Ijesha.
The news, which has sparked widespread reactions across social media, came after Baba Ijesha announced the birth of his baby boy, describing it as a blessing from God and a new chapter in his life.
Luminee also confirmed the arrival of their child, expressing her happiness and professing her love for the actor, whom she described as “one in a million” with a pure heart.
Reacting to the development, Nkechi Blessing took to her Instagram page to share a video of herself appearing shocked by the news.
The actress questioned whether the reports were real, suggesting that she initially thought the announcement could have been generated by artificial intelligence.
“Haaaa. As how? Abi na AI? Egbami,” she said.
Her reaction quickly drew attention online, adding to the growing public conversation surrounding Baba Ijesha’s new relationship and fatherhood.
Baba Ijesha remains a controversial figure due to his previous criminal case involving the sexual assault of a minor, a matter that generated widespread public outrage in Nigeria.
The actor was convicted in 2022 and sentenced to a prison term before regaining his freedom in 2025 after serving part of his sentence.
Since news of his child with Luminee surfaced, reactions have remained divided. While some people have congratulated the couple on the birth of their child, others have expressed discomfort and criticism because of the actor’s past conviction.
Nkechi Blessing’s reaction joins a list of celebrity responses to the development, as many continue to debate the situation on social media.
The actress, known for her outspoken personality and frequent online commentary, did not offer any further remarks beyond her initial shock.
For now, the announcement continues to generate intense discussions among fans and observers, with conversations ranging from forgiveness and second chances to accountability and public perception.
