Being a parent is a role that entails endless sacrifices, responsibility, love and commitment. It also comes with a joy and satisfaction a parent never knew they needed, especially when it’s a girl child.
Many parents actually crave for girls and are usually super excited when their princess arrives.
As the nation prepares to celebrate Children’s Day on May 27, it’s the perfect time to recall the incredible parents who have embraced this beautiful chapter of their lives recently.
From pregnancy announcements that thrilled fans to the heartwarming arrival of their little princess, these entertainers have stepped into the role of being girl-parents with poise.
In this list, we take a look at five Nigerian celebrities who welcomed their baby girls this year.
