Annie Macaulay’s on-stage moment at the 17th Headies Awards was both subtle and powerful, confirming her divorce from 2Baba in a way that resonated deeply with fans. Her slip—“Annie Idi… Oh sorry, Annie Macaulay”—followed by a confident shoutout to “single ladies,” marked a clear and public reclaiming of her identity and independence.
The audience’s cheers reflected support for her honesty and courage, especially as she stood beside Farooq Oreagba, another figure who has recently captivated Nigerians with style and dignity. Annie’s gesture not only confirmed the end of a high-profile marriage but also signaled a new chapter of empowerment and self-definition.
Annie Macaulay’s social media return in March 2025 marked a pivotal moment in her journey, as she signed off with her full name, “Annie Uwana Macaulay,” notably omitting the “Idibia” surname. This act was a clear signal of her emotional and personal shift following the public confirmation of her separation from 2Baba.
Their marriage, which began in 2012, had faced multiple public challenges and moments of reconciliation. However, the couple’s relationship came to a formal end in January 2025 when 2Baba, in a heartfelt statement, announced their breakup.
Annie and 2Baba share two children together, and despite their separation, their connection as co-parents continues. The public nature of their split, along with Annie’s recent actions, has attracted considerable attention, marking a significant change in both their personal lives and their public personas.
Following his highly publicized separation from Annie Macaulay, 2Baba took a significant step in his personal life by proposing to his new fiancée, Edo lawmaker Natasha Osawaru. The proposal has been met with considerable media attention, especially given the timing of the couple’s announcement in the wake of his split from Annie.
In addition to the proposal, 2Baba has introduced Natasha to his family and kinsmen in Benue State, further fueling speculation and rumors that a wedding may soon follow. The public nature of their relationship has stirred conversations, especially considering 2Baba’s high-profile marriage to Annie, which had been under the spotlight for years.
While there has been no official confirmation of a wedding date, the series of events — from the engagement to Natasha’s introduction to the family — suggest that 2Baba is moving forward with his new relationship in full view of the public eye.
It will be interesting to see how this plays out and whether 2Baba and Natasha’s union will generate as much buzz as his past relationships have.#newsafro_
