Actor Kunle Remi, wife announces birth of first child

Nollywood actor Kunle Remi and his wife, Tiwi, are celebrating the arrival of their first child after overcoming a difficult medical journey.  

The couple recently opened up about the challenges they faced on their path to parenthood, which included a tough medical diagnosis, prolonged bed rest, and over 80 days of faith-driven visits to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Kunle Remi took to his official Instagram page, @kunleremiofficial, on Wednesday to share an emotional video reflecting on their struggles and triumphs.

Expressing deep gratitude, the actor acknowledged the strength and resilience that carried them through the difficult times.

Remi wrote: “From an early arrival… to the unfolding of God’s perfect timing.

“From waiting, countless NICU visits, and clinging to God for 11 weeks and three days (that’s 80 days of faith).

“Our story is living proof that God is God — unfailing, unwavering, and faithful till the very end.

“From an unexpected and unsettling medical discovery… to complete bed rest.

“From juggling demanding work schedules… to hopping on flights, both locally and internationally.”

The couple’s love story has been in the public eye, since the actor surprised Tiwi with a marriage proposal during a visit to the United States in early 2024.

They later held a grand wedding in January 2024 attended by top Nollywood celebrities.

Fans and colleagues have since flooded social media with congratulatory messages, celebrating the couple’s resilience and the arrival of their baby. (NAN)
