Nigerian media personality, Toke Makinwa, has recently announced she is expecting her first child. On Wednesday, August 13, 2025, the 40-year-old revealed the news in an Instagram post, sharing a video that displayed her baby bump. She described the experience as the "biggest project" and "the highest calling" of her life.

Makinwa has previously been open about her desire for motherhood and has explored options such as surrogacy.

In her announcement, she reflected on her years of waiting, stating, "all that time I was convinced you had forgotten me, I didn't understand why it took so long but now I see it." She expressed gratitude for the blessing and said the timing was "just perfect."

This news follows recent developments in her personal life. In April 2025, she publicly stated her openness to remarrying, which led to her receiving numerous proposals.

In October 2024, she dismissed rumors of a new marriage, clarifying that the man in question was her best friend and that she had a "Thanksgiving Day and nothing more." Makinwa was previously married to Maje Ayida from 2014 to 2017.
