Yetunde Barnabas & Peter Olayinka Welcome Baby No. 2, Pure Joy, Tears and Nationwide Celebration ❤️
A New Chapter Written in Love and Gratitude
sweetheart Yetunde Barnabas and her footballer husband, Super Eagles and Red Star Belgrade forward Peter Olayinka, are officially parents of two! The couple welcomed their second child—a beautiful baby whose arrival has sent waves of happiness across Nigeria’s entertainment and sports circles.
The exciting news broke on November 12, 2025, when Yetunde took to Instagram with a series of tender hospital photos. Draped in a hospital gown and radiating that unmistakable new-mum glow, she cradled their newborn while Peter beamed proudly beside her. “God did it again! ???? Welcome to the world our precious gift,” she captioned, adding tearful and heart emojis that instantly set timelines ablaze.
From Maternity Ward to Millions of Hearts
The pictures speak a thousand emotions: Peter gently kissing Yetunde’s forehead, the actress gazing at their bundle of joy with eyes full of wonder, and the tiny new Olayinka wrapped snugly in white, already stealing the show. Fans didn’t hold back. Within hours, the comment sections overflowed with love.
“God is too faithful! Congratulations princess ????,” wrote Mercy Aigbe.
“Another goal for King Peter!!!! ???????? Welcome junior champ,” joked football fans.
“See my baby having her own baby ????❤️,” gushed colleague Bimpe Akintunde (Wasila Coded).
Even Ghanaian star Jackie Appiah and Serbian-based Nigerian footballer Solomon Agbalaka slid into the comments with heartfelt messages, proving this family’s joy truly crossed borders.
A Love Story That Keeps Winning
Yetunde and Peter’s romance has been fan-favourite content since they went public years ago. The couple exchanged vows in a glamorous traditional and white wedding in June 2021, followed by a fairytale reception that still trends whenever love stories are mentioned in Nollywood. Their first child, a gorgeous daughter named Gemma Olayinka, arrived in July 2022 and instantly became social media’s favourite toddler—complete with her own Instagram page managed by mum.
The pair have never shied away from showing the softer side of their high-profile lives. From Peter flying in to surprise Yetunde on movie sets to Yetunde cheering the loudest at Peter’s matches in Europe, their love has been consistent, playful, and deeply rooted in faith.
Peter’s Sweetest Assist Yet
Known for his powerful strikes on the pitch, Peter Olayinka just delivered what fans are calling his greatest assist—being right by his wife’s side during delivery. In his own post, the footballer wrote: “Thank You Jesus! You are too faithful to fail us ????????❤️ Our family just got bigger and better. Welcome my prince/princess .”
He accompanied the message with a photo of him gently holding the baby’s tiny hand against his, a moment so tender it melted even the toughest timelines.
Nollywood Meets Football: A Match Made in Heaven
The birth has beautifully merged two worlds that adore them. Colleagues from the movie industry—Biola Bayo, Kiekie, Biodun Stephen—and football stars like Victor Osimhen, Kenneth Omeruo, and Paul Onuachu all dropped congratulatory messages. Nigerian football pages and entertainment blogs are having a field day with headlines like “Super Eagles Star Scores at Home” and “Yetunde Barnabas Upgrades from Mummy Gemma to Mummy of Two.”
Fans have already started the playful debate: will the new baby follow mummy into acting or daddy into football? Some are boldly claiming “Future Ballon d’Or or AMVCA winner loading!”

A Growing Legacy of Love
From the moment they welcomed Gemma, Yetunde and Peter have shared their parenting journey with grace—cute family photoshoots, vacation reels, matching outfits, and constant declarations of gratitude to God. This second child feels like the perfect continuation of a love story that keeps giving Nigeria reasons to smile.
As Yetunde recovers and the Olayinka family adjusts to newborn cries and 3 a.m. feeds, one thing is certain: their home is filled with more love, more laughter, and one extra tiny heartbeat that has already captured the nation’s heart.
Congratulations to the Olayinkas! May this new chapter be filled with endless joy, sound health, and plenty of goals—both on and off the pitch. ❤️
