Nollywood actor Lateef Adedimeji is celebrating his first Eid as a father of triplets.
On his Instagram page, the father of three, who is still reeling from the euphoria of being a new dad, said this year’s Eid is an emotional one for him, as it is his first as a father.
He said he prayed for days like this, endured difficult nights and never lost faith. Lateef said his triplets are here to prove to him that Allah does answer prayers.
“It’s an emotional one.
My first Eid as a father, Alhamdulilah Robil Alamin
I prayed for days like this, I endured difficult nights, and I never lost my faith.
Rahman, Raheem and Rakeeb @etawithlove are here to prove to me that Allah does answer prayers.
Happy Eid celebrations, everyone. May this one bring to us all our heart’s desires”
It is no longer news that earlier this month the couple had announced the birth of their triplet boys. Lateef shared a video of Bimpe holding their ultrasound, saying that God had given him more than he had prayed for, as his wife is now a mother of three boys.
A week later, the couple held a low-key naming ceremony at their residence in Lekki, Lagos. The couple kept things low-key and invited only close friends and family. Spotted at the ceremony were Jide Awobona, Ibrahim Yekini ‘Itele’ and his wife, and Omowunmi Dada.
Speaking out, Lateef wrote a heartfelt note to the public, noting how the love has been loud, beautiful and overwhelming. Lateef added that so much genuine love and prayers have surrounded them, and he appreciated them for celebrating his triplets.
Reflecting on his newfound life, he revealed that the past weeks had changed him forever. He said he has held greatness in his arms three times over, adding that watching his wife become a mother and himself become a father is a feeling that he can’t put into words.
Lateef had reacted to a strong warning from a man, who advised him to stop allowing people to carry his babies, as they aren’t museum items to be touched. The actor appreciated his words, letting him know that he had taken his advice.
The birth of their triplets is undoubtedly a good news as the couple have been bullied for not having a child.
