The name of the child was however not disclosed in the post. It is also believed the child was born in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

The couple, who welcomed their first child, a daughter, in 2022, have since been flooded with congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues.

The announcement comes a few months after they denied rumour of welcoming a second child.

In April, Yetunde described the news as false while urging people to verify information before spreading it.

The actress and Super Eagles striker were said to have met in 2019 and started dating shortly after the encounter.

Barnabas came into the spotlight for her role as Miss Pepeiye in ‘Papa Ajasco’, a popular Nigerian family television sitcom created by Wale Adenuga in 1996.

Since then, she has continued to feature in several movies.

Before her foray into the movie landscape, Barnabas had an impressive career as a model who won several awards and recognition, including the Most Beautiful Girl in Abuja pageant in 2019.

Olayinka, on the other hand, plies his trade in Europe.

He was part of the Super Eagles team that competed in the 2022 African Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Cameroon.
