Nigerian influencer and entrepreneur, Priscilla Ojo, daughter of Nollywood star Iyabo Ojo, is expecting her first child with Tanzanian music icon Juma Jux, the couple announced on Thursday.
The news was shared via a joint post on Instagram, where the couple unveiled a stunning maternity photoshoot featuring Priscilla’s growing baby bump.
The caption read simply:
“Mum & Dad.”
The announcement has since sparked an outpouring of congratulatory messages from fans, celebrities, and industry peers across Africa.
Cross-Border Love Story
The pregnancy news follows a series of high-profile wedding ceremonies held across Nigeria and Tanzania, celebrating the union of two cultures and two entertainment dynasties.
According to family sources, the couple began their marital journey in February 2025 with a Nikkah and civil wedding in Tanzania.
This was followed by a traditional Yoruba wedding in Lagos on April 17, paying homage to Priscilla’s Nigerian roots, and a white wedding ceremony on April 19.
An event coordinator involved in the planning said:
“Every detail of the weddings was designed to reflect their unique blend of cultures. It was more than a wedding—it was a celebration of unity and love across borders.”
The final reception was held at a lavishly decorated venue, marking the official conclusion of their wedding festivities.
Public Reaction and Cultural Significance
The announcement quickly became a trending topic, with many praising the couple’s ability to maintain privacy, yet still deliver a public love story filled with class and cultural pride.
Social media influencer and wedding blogger, Adaora Nnaji, shared her thoughts:
“This is the kind of love story we love to see. Pan-African, youthful, and filled with mutual respect. The maternity shoot was tasteful and powerful.”
Baby on the Way
While neither Priscilla nor Jux has publicly disclosed the baby’s due date, a source close to the couple told NewsGrid that the pair are “excited, grounded, and preparing privately for parenthood.”
The baby will be the first for both celebrities.
An entertainment analyst, Tolu Adebanjo, noted the significance of the announcement:
“This isn’t just celebrity gossip. It’s the blending of two vibrant cultures—West and East Africa—through love. Their child will inherit legacy, fame, and a continent rooting for them.”
