In a heartwarming celebration of motherhood, beloved Nollywood actress Sotayo Gaga is beaming with joy as her daughter, Adetayo Faiza, marks her first birthday milestone. The actress took to Instagram to share adorable mother-daughter photos that perfectly capture their striking resemblance.
In a touching tribute to her mini-me, Sotayo penned down her emotions in both Yoruba and English, calling her daughter “Iya mi, omo mi” (my mother, my child) and describing her as “a split copy of my MUM.” The proud mother couldn’t help but gush over her “wonderful, strong & beautiful daughter” as she celebrated this special day.
The comment section quickly filled with love and well-wishes from fellow Nollywood stars. Debbie Shokoya blessed the “cutie” with prayers for God’s protection, while Taiwo Adeyemi and Aisha Lawal joined in the celebration with their heartfelt birthday messages.
This celebration comes as a beautiful milestone in Sotayo’s journey to motherhood. The actress, who has been known for her maternal nature towards many, welcomed her precious bundle of joy in November last year, sharing her pregnancy journey with fans through a touching video featuring her baby bump. The news of her baby’s arrival sparked an outpouring of congratulations from fans and colleagues alike.
In December, she delighted her followers with a precious video holding her newborn, drawing loving reactions from industry friends including Aisha Lawal, Joke Jigan, Toyin Adewale, and Sola Olaibi.
The actress, who quietly tied the knot with her mystery husband in March 2021, has kept her personal life relatively private. Her subsequent conferment with various chieftaincy titles in Nasarawa state has led to speculation about her husband’s origins, though she maintains her privacy about these details.
As Adetayo Faiza turns one, it’s clear that this milestone marks just the beginning of what promises to be a beautiful mother-daughter journey for Sotayo Gaga and her little one.
