The actress revealed the arrival of her baby boy in an Instagram post on Wednesday, explaining that she decided to forgo her usual birthday photoshoot and glamorous celebration in favour of a more personal moment.
According to Dima-Okojie, this year’s birthday holds special significance because it is the first she is celebrating as a mother.
Sharing a photograph taken on the day her son was born, the actress described motherhood as the most demanding and rewarding role she has ever undertaken.
She reflected on the early weeks of caring for her newborn, saying the experience has been filled with moments of joy, exhaustion, growth, and gratitude.
Dima-Okojie noted that getting to know her son has been the greatest gift, adding that the journey has revealed strengths she never knew she possessed while giving her a deeper appreciation for mothers everywhere.
The actress also spoke candidly about the realities of the newborn stage, acknowledging that it has been more challenging than she anticipated but one she would not exchange for anything.
Expressing gratitude, she said she feels honoured to be entrusted with the responsibility of raising her son and thanked supporters for their prayers, encouragement, and kindness throughout the transition into motherhood.
“Instead, I’m sharing a photo from the day my son was born. The day my life changed forever,” she wrote, adding that becoming a mother has made this birthday unlike any other.
The announcement comes months after Dima-Okojie publicly shared her pregnancy journey, which followed years of openly discussing her struggles with fibroids and fertility challenges.
As she celebrated another year of life, the actress said her greatest joy now comes from embracing her new role as a mother and cherishing the privilege of raising her son.
