Temi Otedolais going to be a mom!
The Nigerian actress, 30, is pregnant, expecting her first baby this summer with husband Mr Eazi, 34, PEOPLE can confirm.
"We are beyond excited to start our family and welcome a little one to our cocoon of two. We’re feeling extremely blessed and grateful for this big next step!" Otedola exclusively tells PEOPLE.
The star says she and her husband, whose full name is Oluwatosin Oluwole Ajibade, found out the happy news after tying the knot last year. The pair had three different weddings in three different countries, beginning in May 2025.
"After wrapping up three weddings in 2025—a court in Monaco, a traditional Nigerian wedding in Dubai, and a church wedding in Iceland—we wanted to end the year with a 2-month, digital-detoxed honeymoon, travelling across Korea and Japan," she says. "That’s when we found out!"

"It’s been the greatest news to share," she says. "With our family and friends living across every continent, we shared with as many of them as we could in real life, giving them our ultrasound printouts as a surprise. I also celebrated my 30th birthday this March in Mallorca—and was able to tell most of my closest friends there."
While the pair is keeping the sex of their baby on the way under wraps for now, they have already started discussing names for their little one.
"My husband and I send each other names all the time on WhatsApp," she shares. "We’ve also asked our parents to give us name ideas, as is Nigerian tradition."
Otedola says she's feeling "stronger and more energized" in recent weeks but that the first trimester was much rockier.
"For the first trimester, I was really feeling the fatigue and morning sickness (well, all day sickness), but as the months progressed, I’ve been so grateful to feel stronger and more energized," she says.
Above all, the actress has been loving the slower moments of this pregnancy as "someone who has been moving a million miles a minute for years."
"I love how pregnancy forces you to slow down. I’ve been gradually slowing down my routine, prioritizing my goals and looking inward," she shares. "It’s also a beautiful time to spend with loved ones and celebrate the coming of new life."
