Hours ago, Ijesha had gushed about his new life as he revealed that this was the first time he had travelling with his family since he was born. Ijesha said he is grateful for his life and vowed not to misuse his second chance.
Kemi Filani reported on June 15th that Ijesha, who was imprisoned for raping a minor, announced that he had welcomed a child with the celebrity stylist. He said that God had been writing his story and had given him more than he prayed for – a wife and now a baby boy.
Confirming the news, Luminee expressed how overwhelmed she was with joy at their baby’s birth. She affirmed her love for Ijesha, saying he is one in a million and his heart is pure.
While sharing more maternity photos of herself and Ijesha, she revealed that their newborn son is the first boy in the family, and has been christened King Kagar Omiyinka.
Amid the backlash, Luminee had shared before-and-after photos of herself with Ijesha. She said that privacy is peace to her, and that it was the right time for them to fly together.
The couple are gearing up for their son’s naming ceremony in August. They had shared a flyer for the invite and an asoebi price list as they invited the public to their son’s naming.
Recall that in 2022, Baba Ijesha had bagged 5 years imprisonment for raping comedienne, Princess’s 14 years old daughter.
On Friday, November 15th, 2025, the famous actor was released from prison, after spending over three years in custody over alleged sexual assault.
