This statement comes just over a year after her long-term marriage to music icon 2Baba officially ended.
The post, which Annie reshared to emphasize her current mindset, read: “I’m not a single Mom. I’m a single woman raising two kids.”
This subtle but firm distinction appears to be a conscious effort by the actress to reclaim her individual identity beyond her parental role.
Since her divorce was confirmed in January 2025, Annie has been vocal about her journey toward self-discovery and the importance of prioritizing personal happiness while navigating the challenges of motherhood.
The separation of Annie and 2Baba, once one of Nigeria’s most celebrated celebrity couples, sent shockwaves through the entertainment industry when the singer publicly announced their split.
Since then, Annie has pivoted her focus toward her career and her two daughters. Reports indicate she is currently preparing to launch her own online TV station, a move seen by many as a strategic step in establishing her independence and expanding her brand in the media space.
Addressing her followers, Annie highlighted that this new phase of her life is dedicated to intense self-care and being the best version of herself for her children.
By reframing her title, she aims to challenge the societal stigmas often attached to the “single mother” label, opting instead for a narrative that celebrates her autonomy as a woman.
Her stance has received a mix of support and curiosity from fans, many of whom are eager to see how she evolves in this new chapter.
