Banky W & Adesua

Celebrity couple, Banky W & Adesua Wellington have opened up on why they kept their pregnancy a secret.

The power couple welcomed their first child, a son named Hazaiah Olusegun Wellington, in January 2021, four years after they got married in a much-publicized wedding.

Speaking on Naija FM, the couple made it known that they decided to keep it secret in order to have the privacy to experience that journey without the prying eyes of the public.

Adesua, who recently dropped new music, also added that it has always been the couple's thing to keep their affairs private. She mentioned that their dating life was private, as an example.

I already knew I was the luckiest, most blessed man alive when God gave me Susu... then He gave us Zaiah. My goodness. This amazing young man is everything we prayed for and so much more. My heart is overwhelmed every single day with love, joy, and gratitude.

Happy 1st birthday to Hazaiah Olusegun "Champ" Wellington. Our perfect gift from God. As your name is, so shall your years be. Jehovah will always watch over you, and always give you the victory. You will be more knowledgeable than your teachers and more accomplished than your peers. You will achieve more than both of your parents combined, and fulfill your destiny in Jesus name. We separate you as a vessel for the Almighty; you will never lack any good thing.

We receive the grace, wisdom and resources to bring you up in the way of the Lord. We will live to see your children, and you will live to see your children's children, in Jesus name. We will love you for-eternity.
