Ayodeji Balogun, better known by his stage name Wizkid, and his partner and manager, Jada Pollock, have welcomed their third child together with delight.
Through Jada’s Instagram story, where she was spotted standing next to a baby’s cot with her pregnant bulge conspicuously removed, the couple discreetly revealed the news.
This joyful announcement follows a difficult time in Jada’s pregnancy.
She disclosed in December 2024 that she experienced a serious health scare at three months pregnant that necessitated an emergency appendectomy.
Despite the dangers, the mother and child survived.
Jada expressed her gratitude on social media, stating, “At the beginning of the year, I faced the biggest fright of my life. Three months into my pregnancy, I was rushed to the hospital to have my appendix removed. Against all odds, both my baby and I made it through safely. Life is too short to be anything but grateful.”
Since they first met in 2012, Wizkid, 34, and Jada, 41, have been companions in their personal and professional lives.
Zion, their first child, was born in 2017 as a result of their growing love, and AJ, their second son, was born in 2022.
Wizkid has two other children from past partnerships, making this latest addition his fifth child.
Both fans and the media have been eagerly following the couple’s journey. Jada, a successful music executive who has worked with musicians such as Akon and Chris Brown, has frequently discussed the difficulties of being called just a “baby mama.“
She voiced her annoyance in a 2022 interview, saying, “It’s so degrading and discriminating when I’m referred to as Wizkid’s third baby mother before addressing me professionally by my name.”
Fans from all over the world have showered social media with congratulations as the pair embarks on this new chapter, honoring the love and tenacity that characterize Wizkid and Jada’s bond. Although the baby’s gender and name have not been made public, the family’s happiness is evident and represents a victory following major health obstacles.
This touching announcement further solidifies Wizkid’s reputation as a devoted family guy and a worldwide music icon, adding to his already impressive career.
