2023 is already shaping up to be an undoubtedly big year for Power actor Rotimi, who welcomed his second child with fiancée Vanessa Mdee days ago. He shared the exciting news with fans on social media, not holding back while expressing his obvious joy and love for his family. Their latest arrival is named Imani and comes less than two years after their first, Seven, was born in September 2021.
As ESSENCE notes, it was at the outlet’s festival that the lovers previously met in 2019. At the time, Rotimi brought another woman along as his date but wound up leaving her behind in favour of Mdee, who was living in Tanzania at the time. Once their relationship became serious, she made the move to Atlanta to be closer to her famous partner. “I feel like we’ve been together for lifetimes,” the 34-year-old explained back in 2020.

“So, this is just this body and I just met her again on this earth. It felt like that from day one, and I’ve never had a connection that instantly. [I told her] I don’t want you to go back to Africa. I want you to stay with me,” Rotimi added, revealing the undeniably deeply romantic nature of their connection. Throughout their relationship, he’s regularly given Mdee her flowers, especially when it comes to carrying and mothering his children.
On Monday (March 6), the “In My Bed” hitmaker was happy to let social media know that he’s finally a father of two. “I Still Can’t Wrap My Mind Around To Think I’m Here To Announce The Beautiful Birth Of My Daughter Imani,” Rotimi’s heartfelt caption reads. “I’m Overwhelmed With Love Today @vanessamdee You Are Nothing Short Of A Superhero! Our Second Child Together & Seven Now Has A Little Sister To Watch Over,” he added before thanking God for the beautiful blessings in his life as well.
Baby No. 2 Is Here

FATHER GOD JESUS CHRIST MASTER HOLY SPIRIT THANKYOU YOU’VE BEEN SOOOOOOO GOOD TO ME,” she expressed her gratitude.
