Former Big Brother reality TV star and Nollywood actor, Tobi Bakre, is celebrating a beautiful new chapter in his life as he and his wife, Anu Bakre, welcome their newborn child. The actor took to his Instagram page on a Tuesday to share the heartwarming news with his followers.
In a touching post, Tobi introduced their bundle of joy as “Kamila A. Bakre” and expressed his gratitude for the miracle of her arrival. He joyfully embraced the role of being a “girl dad” and described it as a transformative life mission and an immense blessing. He praised his wife, Anu, for her strength throughout the 9-month journey and professed his boundless love for her.
Tobi Bakre’s excitement overflowed, making it challenging for him to put his feelings into words. He humorously promised that he would handle the next baby himself and playfully pointed out that he’s now a father to two kids.
Tobi’s journey to fame began as a low-key individual working in a bank, pursuing photography as a side passion. However, his life took a remarkable turn when he entered the BBNaija house, where he emerged as the second runner-up. Since then, he has become a beloved figure in Nigerian social media, amassing a 450% increase in his following. His newfound fame led to lucrative partnerships with major consumer brands like Unilever, Amstel Malta, and Jumia, along with ventures into acting.
Tobi’s talent in acting has shone brightly in Nollywood, particularly in movies like “Brotherhood (2022)” and “Gangs Of Lagos (2023),” where his performances garnered praise from critics and fans alike. His outstanding work earned him a nomination and victory for “Best Actor in drama (Movie/TV Series)” at the Africa Magic Viewers Choice Awards (AMVCA) 2023, solidifying his status as one of the most successful former Big Brother Naija housemates.
Tobi Bakre’s love story with his beautiful wife, Anu, began after the Big Brother show. They crossed paths at an entertainment event, arriving and leaving simultaneously. After encountering each other twice, Tobi plucked up the courage to strike up a conversation, which led to their blossoming relationship. In August 2021, they tied the knot, and in December of the same year, they joyously welcomed their first child.
In Tobi’s own words, their initial meeting was serendipitous, coinciding with a show hosted by Toke, Ebuka, Toolz, and Gbemi. Their connection deepened during the COVID-19 year, paving the way for their beautiful journey together.
Tobi Bakre, a rising star in the film industry, is not only known for his physical presence but also for his exceptional talent. However, his heart belongs to his loving wife and family.
Congratulations to Tobi Bakre on becoming a proud father of two! This remarkable journey is just beginning for the Bakre family.
