The couple’s relationship has been in the public eye for years, marked by both affection and challenges. They met in 1999 and began dating in 2002. Their relationship faced difficulties, particularly due to 2Baba’s relationships with other women, resulting in multiple children outside their union.
Despite these challenges, they married in 2012 and have two daughters together: Isabella, born in December 2008, and Olivia, born on January 3, 2014.
Over the years, Annie has been open about the complexities of their marriage, expressing feelings of emotional distress due to 2Baba’s past relationships. In a 2014 interview, she described the situation as “tasking, stressful, and sometimes depressing.”
Just recently, 2Baba publicly announced their separation on Instagram. Initially, there were claims that his account had been hacked, but he later confirmed the news in a video, stating that he stood by his earlier announcement.
