A Joyous Milestone for the Akpobome Family
Veteran Nigerian comedian Atunyota Akpobome, popularly known as Ali Baba, and his wife, Mary, are celebrating a significant milestone as their triplet sons, Kings Aaron, Alexander, and Andrew, turn one.
The couple took to Instagram on Friday to share photos of their boys, marking the first time they have publicly revealed their faces.
Gratitude and Celebration
In a heartfelt post, Mary expressed her profound gratitude to God for the blessing of her triplets. She wrote, “Happy 1st Birthday, Kings Aaron, Alexander & Andrew! Faithful God, I bow before You in humble adoration and say, Thank You, Lord! You are indeed ALWAYS on time!”
She also shared additional photos of the triplets on her Instagram story, giving her followers a glimpse of their joyous celebration.
Ali Baba joined in the celebration, sharing photos of his sons on his Instagram story.
From an April Fool’s Joke to a Beautiful Reality
The birth of the triplets was initially announced by Ali Baba on April 1, 2024, leading many to believe it was an April Fool’s prank. However, as the year unfolded, the comedian shared the story behind their unexpected journey to parenthood.
The Journey to Parenthood at 59
Ali Baba explained that the triplets came as a surprise during his and Mary’s plan to have another child through IVF. The couple, whose older children had moved abroad, wanted to fill the emptiness in their home.
Mary had initially considered adopting more children but decided to try having her own, leading them to explore in vitro fertilization (IVF). The couple planned to fertilize two eggs, hoping for one successful pregnancy. However, one of the fertilized eggs split, resulting in the birth of triplets.
A Testament to Love and Patience
The comedian has often described the experience as a testament to God’s timing and a reflection of his wife’s resilience and determination.
A Year of Blessings
As the Akpobome family celebrates this special milestone, the triplets’ first birthday marks a year of joy, gratitude, and renewed family bonds. Fans and well-wishers have flooded their social media pages with congratulatory messages, celebrating the comedian and his wife for their incredible journey.
This heartwarming milestone serves as a reminder of the beauty of parenthood and the unexpected blessings life can bring.
