Nollywood actress and Influencer, Annie Macaulay has shared a cryptic message on Instagram that many believe reflects her marital journey and recent separation from music icon Innocent ‘2Baba’ Idibia.

On Monday, Annie posted a text image that read, ”I hope my daughter doesn’t accept things I’ve accepted, that she knows her worth from the start and that no matter what, she always has me in her corner.”

The post quickly drew attention, with fans interpreting it as an indirect reflection on the struggles she endured in her marriage.

The actress publicly confirmed her separation from 2Baba in May 2025 during the 17th Headies Awards in Atlanta.

While co-presenting an award alongside Farooq Oreagba, Annie initially introduced herself as “Annie Idi…” before quickly correcting to “Annie Macaulay.”

She followed with a playful shout of “Hey, single ladies!” , a moment that drew loud applause and was widely seen as her first public acknowledgment of the split.

Her ex-husband had earlier announced the end of their marriage in January 2025, bringing to a close what many fans once considered one of Nigeria’s most iconic celebrity love stories.

The couple, who tied the knot in a lavish ceremony in 2013, had been together for over a decade and share two daughters.

Their relationship, however, was not without turbulence. For years, tabloids chronicled 2Baba’s ties with Pero Adeniyi and Sunmbo Adeoye, both of whom bore him children.

At the height of the controversies, Annie was often in the public eye as she tried to defend their relationship, even as 2Baba’s growing family , six children with three women made him the subject of jokes, gossip, and speculation in entertainment circles.

Annie’s new Instagram message, however, shifts the narrative towards her children and personal growth.

To many observers, it represents both a veiled commentary on her past and a determination to instil strength and self-respect in her daughters. (The PUNCH)
