Nigerian actor Kunle Remi and his wife, Tiwi, have welcomed their first child, a beautiful baby girl named Eemi Oluwa.
They shared the news on March 26, 2025, revealing an emotional journey filled with medical complications and unwavering faith.
Kunle posted their story on Instagram, describing the experience as a testament to God’s grace and perfect timing.
The couple chose the name “Eemi Oluwa,” which means “The Breath of God,” to reflect the miracle they now hold.

From Unexpected Medical News to 80 Days of NICU Prayers

The couple’s journey to parenthood began with a shocking and unsettling medical diagnosis during Tiwi’s early pregnancy.
Doctors placed Tiwi on complete bed rest to manage complications and ensure the baby’s survival.
Despite their busy schedules and long-distance travels, Kunle remained fully supportive throughout the pregnancy.
Tiwi faced months of physical strain and emotional exhaustion, holding on to faith as her pregnancy advanced.
Eventually, their baby girl arrived prematurely and had to stay in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for 80 days.

Kunle described those weeks as “80 days of faith,” a phrase that captured their daily hope and strength.
They visited the NICU every day, praying and trusting God for complete healing and growth.
Despite the fear and uncertainty, Kunle and Tiwi remained steadfast and grateful through it all.

Public Gratitude and Encouragement to Others

In his post, Kunle thanked God for sustaining them through what he described as a spiritual and emotional marathon.
He wrote, “From unsettling medical discoveries to full bed rest. From being apart to finally being together.
From early delivery to God’s perfect timing. From countless NICU visits to holding our miracle in our arms.”
Kunle added that the experience taught them deep lessons in patience, gratitude, and faith.

He also noted that their story wasn’t meant to be a podcast or performance but a real-life testimony.
“This isn’t a podcast,” he wrote. “It’s two people sharing their journey — unfiltered, heartfelt, and full of grace.”
His post resonated with fans, many of whom praised the couple’s courage and transparency.

Support from Fans and Colleagues Across Social Media

Shortly after Kunle’s announcement, fans and celebrities flooded the comment section with congratulatory messages.
Nigerians across social media platforms expressed admiration for the couple’s strength and trust in God.
Popular figures in Nollywood also shared warm wishes and prayers for baby Eemi Oluwa’s continued health.
Tiwi, although more private, reshared parts of Kunle’s post and thanked their supporters quietly through her stories.
