Nigerian comedian Ayo Makun and his ex-wife, Mabel Makun, are celebrating their second daughter, Ayomide, as she turns 4 today.
On his Instagram page, Ay noted how, after 12 years of waiting, God blessed them with another child. He said that from the moment she came into the world, she became his joy, his healing, and his new beginning.
Ay made it known that no matter what life brings, Ayomide will never walk alone. He stated that she and her elder sister are the reason he keeps pushing, standing, and believing.
“Happy 4th Birthday, my precious Ayomide.
My beautiful baby girl… after 13 years of waiting, God answered me with you.
And from the very first moment you came into this world, you did not just become my child… You became my joy, my healing, my new beginning.
Ayomide, you are the kind of blessing that reminds a man that life is still worth fighting for.
Your laughter is my medicine.
Your tiny hands holding mine give me strength.
Your smile has a way of silencing every storm and making everything feel alright again.
Today, I just want you to grow up knowing this truth forever:
Daddy will always be here.
No matter what life brings, no matter where the road leads, you will never walk alone.
You and your big sister Michelle are the reason I keep pushing, keep standing, keep believing.
You both gave my life a deeper meaning… and I will spend my lifetime loving you, protecting you, and showing up for you in every way that matters.
Happy birthday, my sweet Ayomide…
My joy. My prayer answered. My heart outside my body”.
Mabel revealed that her daughter has taught her how to smile from within. She described the celebrant as a vibrant personality, noting how her laughter always lights up and brightens the atmosphere.
“This particular photoshoot turned out to be my favourite because it was all smiles, fun, and Ayomide just couldn’t stop laughing. Just as her name implies, my joy has truly come.
You have taught me how to smile from within.
You have such a vibrant personality; your laughter always lights up and brightens the atmosphere, bringing warmth and making everyone feel happier and more positive. Happy birthday, my super duper, ever-smiling, fun daughter.
God continue to keep and protect you”.
Recall that in April, 2023, AY confirmed the end of his almost 20-year relationship with Mabel, expressing regrets for losing his home, and also admitted to doing things that were compromising during the marriage. He warned against projecting the wrong narrative about him and his family, which he found harmful to his teenage daughter, and hinted at the possible fault from his wife.
Mabel also broke her silence, stating that her dreams of a lifelong marriage had now taken a different direction and pleaded with the media and public to give them privacy as they navigate their new phase. She noted how many lies have been peddled against her, but she will honour her kids by not addressing them.
In 2024, Blogger Stella Dimoko Korkus alleged that Mabel had denied AY all access to his second daughter, Ayomide which the comedian confirmed in his birthday message to her.
