Nollywood actors Adebimpe Oyebade and Lateef Adedimeji have clarified that recent images of them holding triplets circulating online are not authentic. The couple, who announced the birth of their three children after a five‑year wait, said the pictures are AI‑generated and will release official photographs in due course.
The clarification follows a flurry of social‑media posts that featured the pair with infant triplets on the day after a naming ceremony held on Thursday. The images quickly gained traction, prompting speculation that the couple had publicly displayed their newborns.
In an Instagram statement on Friday, Oyebade addressed the rumors, writing that the “babies pictures flying around aren’t our babies, please.” She added that the family would share verified photos “@etawithlove” when the appropriate time comes. The actor echoed the sentiment in a post on X (formerly Twitter), stating, “Please note that the AI‑generated baby photos circulating right now are not ours. Thank you for understanding.”
The couple’s announcement of the triplets came after a prolonged period of fertility challenges that received considerable media attention. Their naming ceremony, attended by close friends and family, marked an intimate celebration of the births. However, the rapid spread of doctored images underscores the growing prevalence of synthetic media on digital platforms, raising concerns about misinformation even in personal contexts.
Industry observers note that the incident highlights the need for public figures to manage digital narratives actively. By issuing a prompt response, Oyebade and Adedimeji aim to curb false representation and maintain control over their family’s privacy.
The actors have thanked supporters for their “love and support” while emphasizing that authentic images will be released through official channels. They have not indicated a specific date for the forthcoming photographs, leaving fans to await the confirmed visual documentation of the newborns.
The episode serves as a reminder of the challenges celebrities face in the age of AI‑enhanced content, where fabricated images can spread rapidly and distort public perception. As the couple prepares to share verified photos, the situation illustrates the importance of vigilance and transparent communication in managing personal narratives online.
