For years, the internet was awash with mockery, gossip and rumours surrounding popular Nollywood couple, Abdulateef Adedimeji and Adebimpe, particularly over their inability to have children after marriage.
But the same internet that witnessed years of speculation and unkind remarks has now celebrated a remarkable turnaround, as the couple proudly welcomed their triplets and hosted a naming and thanksgiving ceremony in Lagos.
Adedimeji and Adebimpe got married in December 2021 and welcomed their triplets in May 2026, marking a new and joyous chapter in their journey as a couple.
The thanksgiving and naming ceremony, held on Wednesday at the Monarch Event Centre in Lekki, Lagos State, was a star-studded affair, attracting colleagues, friends and some of the biggest names in Nollywood and the country’s entertainment industry.
The couple, who have now put the years of mockery, gossip and hurtful speculation behind them, were full of joy as the heavyweights of the entertainment industry turned up in their numbers to celebrate their long-awaited blessing.
The proud father, who recently opened up about the shame and painful experiences he endured over the years, including rumours questioning whether he was the biological father of the children, could barely contain his joy at the event as he danced to the admiration of all.
Rather than dwell on the painful past, the couple embraced the moment with gratitude and happiness, basking in the love and support of their colleagues, friends and well-wishers.
The couple became the cynosure of all eyes as celebrities and industry stakeholders converged on the venue to share in their joy and celebrate the new chapter in their lives.
One of the most emotional moments of the ceremony was when veteran actress, Iya Rainbow, dressed in a white garment, offered prayers for the couple, their triplets and everyone present.

The atmosphere later became enlivened as musician, Segun Johnson, took the stage and thrilled the gathering with his performance. His rendition of “Baba meta, ti e o ni ta” particularly stirred the joy of the father and sent guests into excitement.
Fuji icon, K1 De Ultimate, also added colour to the occasion, lighting up the venue with his classic Fuji tunes and keeping the guests entertained.
For Abdulateef and Adebimpe, however, the celebration was far bigger than a glamorous celebrity gathering. It was a testimony of patience, resilience and triumph over years of public scrutiny.
