“STOP MISLABELING ME – I’M A SINGLE WOMAN RAISING TWO KIDS” – ANNIE MACAULAY
Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay has set the record straight about her family life, emphasizing that she is not a single mother. On her Instagram page, the mother of two stated:
“I’m not a single Mom. I’m a single woman raising two kids.”
This clarification comes following her separation from her ex-husband, legendary singer 2Baba, who has since moved on with Edo-state lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.
Annie made headlines last year at the Headies Awards when she publicly embraced her new identity. Presenting on stage, she announced she was no longer Annie Idibia but Annie Macaulay and proudly declared her single status.
Since her separation, Annie has focused on raising her daughters. At the awards, she described them as her backbone. In a touching moment, Annie and her eldest daughter, Isabella, recreated a scene from her popular series Young, Famous and African, while her younger daughter, Olivia, freestyled a heartfelt song for her mother. Annie shared the clip online, praising Olivia as “her superstar.”
On Mother’s Day in March, Isabella also celebrated her mother, calling her the best mom a daughter could ask for. In a candid post, Annie reflected on her journey, expressing hope that her daughters recognize their worth from the start and never settle for less than they deserve.
Annie has also been candid about her experiences post-separation. She indirectly critiqued her ex-husband by highlighting great fathers like Peter Okoye, Cole Peter, and Andilen Cube, noting his absence from the list. Reflecting on 2025, Annie shared that despite its challenges, she remains strong and grateful for her life.
Recently, she offered advice to women in similar situations, recommending a book that helped her rediscover parts of herself she had long protected. She described it as essential reading for anyone who has confused love with survival or stayed too long out of loyalty, encouraging women to choose themselves without guilt.
Annie has also shared glimpses of her personal life, from enjoying Valentine’s Day gifts from a mystery admirer to expressing her hopes for her next relationship—a partnership where both grow happier, healthier, wealthier, and more fulfilled together, cherishing the little things along the way.
