2Baba and Annie

In a shocking turn of events, legendary Nigerian singer Innocent Idibia, popularly known as 2Baba, has confirmed his separation from his wife, Annie Idibia, after a decade of marriage. The announcement was made public on January 26, 2025, in a statement released via the singer’s verified social media account. Despite earlier speculations of a potential hack, 2Baba has debunked the rumors, insisting the statement is authentic.

The love story between 2Baba and Annie began when they met at the age of 15. Over the years, their bond blossomed into one of Nigeria’s most celebrated celebrity marriages. However, the union has faced its fair share of public scrutiny and controversies. Known for their unwavering commitment to each other despite the challenges, the couple had been regarded as a beacon of hope for relationships in the entertainment industry.

Their marriage produced two daughters, Olivia and Isabella, who have been a significant part of their public appearances. However, the challenges surrounding their relationship have occasionally spilled into the limelight, leading to widespread speculation about the state of their union.

In his statement, 2Baba noted that the decision to separate was made amicably, emphasizing the need for both parties to prioritize their well-being and that of their children. He requested privacy and understanding from fans and the public during this difficult period, stating, “This decision was not taken lightly. It is one that we both believe is in the best interest of our family.”

The singer also expressed his appreciation for Annie, acknowledging her as a vital part of his life and the mother of his children. Despite the separation, 2Baba reiterated his commitment to co-parenting and ensuring that their children are given the best care and support.

Annie Idibia, who is an actress and model, has not released an official statement since the announcement. However, sources close to the actress suggest that she is focused on maintaining stability for her children during this challenging time. Over the years, Annie has been vocal about her love for 2Baba, sharing glimpses of their relationship journey on social media and in interviews.

The news of their separation has sparked an outpouring of reactions on social media, with fans expressing sadness and offering support to the couple. Fellow celebrities and industry colleagues have also weighed in, with many emphasizing the importance of respecting their privacy.

While some fans are hopeful for a potential reconciliation, others have applauded the couple’s maturity in handling the separation with grace and dignity. The announcement serves as a reminder that even the most celebrated relationships face challenges that require difficult decisions.

As 2Baba and Annie navigate this new chapter in their lives, they have assured their fans that their primary focus remains on their children’s well-being. Both are expected to continue their respective careers, with 2Baba preparing for upcoming musical projects and Annie rumored to have new acting roles in the pipeline.

Though the news marks the end of an era for one of Nigeria’s most iconic celebrity couples, it also highlights the importance of mutual respect and co-parenting in the face of separation.
