June 30, (THEWILL) – Sumbo Adeoye, the first baby mama of popular singer, Innocent Idibia, aka 2baba, recently spoke about her decision to conceive a second child with the musician even though they weren’t married.
During an Instagram live session, Sumbo, who is now the wife of a cleric and a cleric herself, acknowledged receiving unfit counsel from friends, who influenced her decision to have a second child with 2baba.
She said her friends reasoned if she had another kid for 2baba, it would cement her bond and ultimately lead to marriage. Unfortunately, her desired outcome didn’t materialise, leaving her feeling like a loser and utterly disappointed.
She confessed that she had to walk away from the singer, adding that it was the best decision she made in life as it led her to eventually meet the love of her life, Pastor Adeoye, the General Overseer and Senior Pastor of Royalty Christian Centre.
Sumbo explained that encountering her partner, who she called her soulmate, brought her immense joy and fulfilment due to the newfound love and companionship.
Addressing single ladies, Sumbo admonished them against rushing into marriage because of children because these kids would leave someday when they grow up and their partners would be all they have left. She, therefore, urged them to seek companionship, partners who’d invest in them in every ramification.
Sumbo’s husband lost his wife, Folake, to a brief illness in November 2011. The marriage did not produce any child. He, however, found love again with Sumbo Ajaba, who had two children, Nino and Zion, for 2face.
The cleric, who had known Sumbo since the inception of his ministry in 1998, was convinced she was to be his wife. As of 1998, Sumbo was not only a member of the Royal Christian Centre but also a member of the choir. She was also a spiritual daughter to the cleric’s late wife, Pastor Folake.
The church, however, did not receive the news of their planned union enthusiastically, as there were a lot of controversies surrounding the Pastor marrying a single mother of two and a chorister.
Finally, the duo got married in 2013 after the conflicts surrounding them were sorted. The wedding took place at Sheraton Hotel Ikeja, Lagos.
In July 2018, they welcomed their first child, Prince David Adeoye, in the United States of America after five years of marriage, and their second child, a baby girl, on May 12, 2020.
