They succeeded in convincing skeptics that their over a decade long relationship was not just a flash in the pan when they got engaged on Valentines Day last year. But while everyone thought they would have a star-studded wedding, 2face and Annie Idibia settled for a private civil marriage shortly after.

To many, this was understandable, considering the presence of  two major characters/lovers in the singer’s life – Sunmbo Ajaba and Pero Adeniyi. The two  bore him four children, with the sixth(Adeniyi’s) born last year.

With the court marriage already done and dusted, fans of the couple,  who were already used to addressing Annie as Mrs Idibia, had no inkling of a white wedding ceremony in the offing, especially since the singer said he chose to have a quiet wedding so as not to hurt the other women in his life. But all that changed after a tweet by South Africa-based actress and model, Kendra Etufunwa, a close friend of the lucky bride to be.

The tweet posted on December 30th read, “Wedding planning with the bride to be @Annie Macaulay#Act like you know.” The post had set Twitter ablaze with congratulatory messages,  while giving bloggers juicy gists to feast on.

For now, it is no secret  that 2face Idibia and his African Queen, Annie Macaulay, are currently planning a talk-of-the-town wedding shindig, rumoured to hold in the ‘exotic’ Caribbean Islands on February 14, barely a few weeks down the line.

While Macaulay is already in New York, shopping for a befitting wedding gown, bridal dresses contracted to Yvonne Nwosu (hip hop singer, Ice Prince’s latest love interest) of Vonne Couture, the traditional wedding scheduled to take place in Abuja. There is a celebrity line up of brides maids, which include actress Kendra Etufunwa and TV personality Tana Egbo Adelana, meaning that all is no doubt, set for the big day.

Now,  the sharp-shooting star’s other baby mamas must finally have accepted the reality.

Judging by the preparations and media buzz the forthcoming wedding has attracted thus far,  some persons are of the opinion that it is only human for the other baby mama’s be envious of Annie, as she won the eventual price.

But this does not seem to be the case as they appear to have fast moved on with their lives. Unlike in the past, there is no social media war among the ‘rivals’ Indeed,  Macaulay appears to be closer to Ajaba,  who bears a striking semblance with 2face Idibia and has two boys for the singer. The least vocal of all his baby mothers, Ajaba, who is a divorcee, is now said to be a born again Christian. She is a choir leader and praise leader at Royalty Christian Centre, Orile Agege, Lagos.

The former banker-turned entrepreneur is believed to be a close friend of Annie. At least, they are constantly in touch on Twitter. Her sons and Macaulay’s daughter regularly visit each other and occasionally sleep over. Also, a tweet posted by Macaulay mid last year suggested that Ajaba bought a pair of shoes for Isabella, the formers daughter.

Ironically, just a few days after the news of the 2face wedding was made public, it was also revealed that Ajaba,  who currently runs Esobs Events, was getting married to Pastor Adeoye, the General Overseer of Royalty Christian Centre. She is also a chorister in Pastor Adeoye’s church.

For now, Adeniyi appears to be the only one who ma not have decided on what next. A divorcee herself and the most vocal of all three – especially on Twittter – has gone back stage for now. Famous for brandishing herself as 2face’s wife on Twitter, to spite the other women, very little is now known about  her. Herr Twitter and Facebook accounts have even since been deleted.

As the daughter of POATSON boss, Jide Adeniyi,  Pero’s relationship with the singer dates back to 2005. According to reports, after being attacked by robbers in his Festac home, Idibia was injured and traumatised.

While on admission at the hospital, ladies trooped in to visit and wish him well. Adeniyi was said to be one of the lot and a relationship kicked off almost immediately. http://www.punchng.com/entertainment/arts-life/different-strokes-for-2faces-baby-mamas-as-star-artiste-walks-down-the-aisle/
