Nollywood actor and comedian Olanrewaju Omiyinka, popularly known as Baba Ijesha, and celebrity fashion designer Abiodun Folashade, widely known as CEO Luminee, have welcomed a baby boy. The actor announced the birth on Instagram on Monday, June 15, 2026, sharing maternity photos and a video featuring his wife’s baby bump. The couple named their son King Kagar Omiyinka. Baba Ijesha described the arrival as a divine blessing and thanked God for giving him “more than I prayed for.
In his emotional post, Baba Ijesha praised his wife’s strength through pregnancy and motherhood. He wrote, “God gave me more than I prayed for, my ever beautiful wife, Strong JAGABAN, Abike Ade mi owon, ceolumineeofficial who became a mother of my son KING KAGAR OMIYINKA.” He expressed gratitude for the “healthy baby BOY” and said God had been “writing a story only He could tell” in quiet, unseen ways.
CEO Luminee, a well-known fashion entrepreneur, had kept much of her pregnancy private before the announcement. Reports indicate the couple welcomed the child in June 2026. The designer is recognized in Nigeria’s fashion industry and has dressed several celebrities. Her brand, Luminee, has become a staple on red carpets and in Nollywood styling circles.
The news comes months after Baba Ijesha’s release from prison in November 2025. The actor was sentenced by a Lagos High Court in July 2022 in connection with the sexual assault of a minor and served a jail term. Following his release, actor Yomi Fabiyi claimed he had been cleared by the Court of Appeal, but the Lagos State Government clarified that he was not acquitted of the offences and remains listed on the state’s sex offenders register.
Since his release, Baba Ijesha has gradually returned to public life. His announcement drew thousands of congratulatory messages from fans and colleagues in the entertainment industry, though it also sparked debate online given his conviction. Some social media users expressed shock, while others celebrated the couple and offered prayers for the newborn’s health and future.
The actor specifically thanked CEO Luminee for her support, calling her “Strong JAGABAN” and noting that the birth marked a significant milestone for their family. He posted alongside maternity photos of himself and his wife, emphasizing that he was now a father again. The couple’s announcement video featured moments from the pregnancy shoot.
This marks a new chapter for both Baba Ijesha and CEO Luminee as they embrace parenthood together. The birth of King Kagar Omiyinka comes as the actor works to rebuild his career after his legal troubles. Several blogs and entertainment platforms, including New Telegraph and Ladun Liadi’s Blog, confirmed the news and shared details from the Instagram post.
The announcement has generated significant reactions online, with supporters celebrating the couple and praying for the child. As of June 2026, both Baba Ijesha and CEO Luminee have not released further details about christening plans, but have said they are grateful for the healthy arrival of their son and are focusing on family.
