Nigerian comedy sensation Taaooma and her filmmaker husband Abula have delighted fans with the announcement of their first child, a baby girl. Sharing the joyous news on December 5, 2024, the couple posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, offering a glimpse of their newborn daughter, 𝐀𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢 𝐊𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐝𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐝𝐚 𝐆𝐫𝐞𝐞𝐧𝐞, who was born on November 7, 2024.

The post sparked an outpouring of love and congratulations from fans, celebrities, and fellow creatives. Renowned singer Teni commented, “Congratulations!!!!!

Taaooma, born Maryam Apaokagi-Greene, rose to fame with her relatable skits that humorously depict everyday Nigerian life. She and Abula, a gifted filmmaker and video editor, first crossed paths in Ilorin, Kwara State, during Abula’s National Youth Service Corps (NYSC) year. Their shared passion for storytelling through film and editing created a bond that led to a whirlwind romance.

In 2020, Abula orchestrated a surprise proposal in Namibia, where Taaooma spent part of her childhood. Speaking about the proposal, she once shared, “It came as a shock because I had no clue he was planning it right under my nose. I remember him giving me something to try on my hands—it turned out to be a ring sizer! Seeing all my friends and saying yes to my best friend was an unforgettable moment.”

The couple tied the knot in January 2021 but kept their union low-key until their first wedding anniversary, surprising fans with celebratory posts. Now, with the arrival of baby Amani, their love story has taken an exciting new turn.

Fans and well-wishers continue to flood social media with warm messages for the couple, whose journey from a quiet partnership to becoming one of Nigeria’s most beloved creative duos has inspired many.
