Nollywood actors Adebimpe Oyebade and Lateef Adedimeji have denied that recently circulating images of their newborn triplets are authentic. The couple, who announced the birth of the triplets after a five‑year wait, said the pictures shared on social media are computer‑generated.
The rumors began after the family’s naming ceremony on Thursday, when several posts on Instagram and X featured the actors holding three infants. In an Instagram statement on Friday, Oyebade wrote that the images “are AI‑generated” and emphasized that “all the babies pictures flying around aren’t our babies, please.” She added that the family will release official photographs “at the appropriate time” and invited followers to stay tuned for “@etawithlove pictures soon.”
Lateef Adedimeji echoed the clarification on his X account, stating, “Please note that the AI‑generated baby photos circulating right now are not ours. Thank you for understanding.” He also thanked fans for their continued support and enthusiasm.
The clarification comes a week after the couple publicly revealed the arrival of their triplets, a milestone that generated significant attention in the Nigerian entertainment scene. Oyebade and Adedimeji, both well‑known for their work in film and television, had previously shared only limited details about the birth, citing privacy concerns. Their announcement sparked a wave of congratulatory messages from fans and fellow celebrities, as well as heightened media interest in the family’s next steps.
The current episode highlights growing concerns over the misuse of artificial‑intelligence tools to create realistic yet fabricated images. In recent months, several Nigerian and international public figures have reported similar incidents, prompting calls for greater digital literacy and verification practices on social platforms.
For now, Oyebade and Adedimeji have asked the public to await verified images that will be released in due course. Their statement underscores a broader push by celebrities to manage personal content responsibly amid the proliferation of AI‑generated media.
