Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Maria Chike, and her partner have welcomed their first child together.
The reality star made this heartwarming announcement through her Instagram account on Tuesday, October 3, 2023.
Maria shared the joyous news of the arrival of their newborn, a bouncing baby boy named Leonardo AmaraNna Anene, who came into the world on October 1.
In her Instagram post, Maria expressed her gratitude, saying, “Leonardo AmaraNna Anene 01/10/2023. I just want to say Thank you God. My heart is so full and grateful. I’ve found the light in me that I couldn’t find all these years. Thank you for choosing us as your parents.”
Many fans and followers of Maria had speculated about her pregnancy after she unveiled her baby bump just before the commencement of the Big Brother Naija All Stars season. It appears that her pregnancy was indeed the reason she did not participate in the recently concluded All-Stars show.
