Meet 2Baba’s Children: Nino, Zion (Zii), Isabella, Ehi, Justin Agaba, Innocent Jr., and Olivia Idibia

Innocent Ujah Idibia, widely known by his stage names 2Baba and 2Face, was born on September 18, 1975, making him 49 years old today. His longevity in the Nigerian music industry speaks to his lasting influence. He has remained a prominent figure for over two decades.

2Baba is married to Annie Macaulay-Idibia, a relationship that dates back to their time working together. Annie starred in his iconic “African Queen” music video in 2004. After years of dating, they officially married in a grand ceremony in Dubai on March 23, 2013. However, recent posts on social media suggest troubles in their marriage, with talks of a potential divorce emerging on January 26, 2025.

In addition to his marriage to Annie, 2Baba has had significant relationships with two other women. He has two children with Sumbo Ajaba-Adeoye, though they were never married. Sumbo later married David Adeoye, a pastor. He also has three children with Pero Adeniyi, with whom he was never married but maintains a friendly relationship for the sake of their children.

2Baba has seven children in total: Nino and Zion Idibia with Sumbo Ajaba-Adeoye, Ehi Idibia (Rose), Justin Agaba Idibia, and Innocent Ejeh Oluwakitan Idibia with Pero Adeniyi, and Isabella and Olivia Idibia with Annie Macaulay-Idibia.

Standing at about 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm), 2Baba’s stature matches his magnetic stage presence.

His dating history has been a subject of much attention, particularly his relationship with Annie Macaulay-Idibia, which began when they were young and has evolved into marriage. Their journey has been marked by ups and downs, including public apologies from 2Baba for past infidelities.

His relationship with Sumbo Ajaba led to two children but not marriage, while his connection with Pero Adeniyi became controversial, especially when 2Baba was expecting a child with Pero while married to Annie. Rumoured relationships have surfaced, but none have been as widely confirmed or documented.
