Kemi Filani reported on Thursday night that Priscilla and Juma announced in a joint Instagram post that they were expecting their first child. They shared photos from their maternity shoot, in which Priscilla’s bump could be visibly seen.
In an Instagram post, Funke prayed that their joy shall be permanent as she congratulated the soon-to-be parents.

“This joy is permanent in Jesus’ name. Congratulations Mr and Mrs Mkambala
my darling Iyabo, Ayo e o ni dibaje lagbara Olorun. AMIN!!!

Kemi Filani reported in May that Funke had accompanied Iyabo to Tanzania for the wedding finale of Priscilla.
When Funke arrived in Tanzania, Iyabo had sweetly welcomed her in grand style. In an online clip, Iyabo was seen hugging Funke as she presented her with flowers and a cape.
Funke, while sharing clips from her grand welcome to Tanzania, she hailed Iyabo as she congratulated her on her daughter’s wedding.
On Priscilla’s Nigerian wedding day, Funke congratulated her and her husband as she rained prayers on the couple. She also expressed how honoured she was to celebrate the special moment with her, noting how Priscilla’s happiness is a testament to her love and dedication as a mother.
After Priscilla’s wedding, Funke lamented her absence and expressed sadness at missing the event.

When Iyabo premiered her movie, Labake Olododo, Funke had given it her stamp of approval. Also, at the movie premiere, she had commended Iyabo. She praised the actress for the movie’s aesthetics, visuals and all and congratulated her on her new feat. Funke told Iyabo it was her turn to shine and admonished her to break boundaries.
