Annie grew up in Ibadan along with her parents before they divorced 20 years ago. Her father who worked at Mobil left them with their mum who was a full-time house wife. Annie who was born with a silver spoon didn’t grow up with it because their father left them.

After her parents divorced, her mother got a job with Mobil working as a cook to support the family. Thereafter, they moved to Jakande Estate, Lekki, Lagos and later moved to Thomas Estate, also on the Island. Annie lost her younger to tuberculosis at the age of 15.

Childhood Struggles



She started working immediately after she graduated from secondary school at age 15. She worked as a sales girl in a boutique and two other places before she got admission to study.

Annie also worked part time as an undergraduate of Computer Science at the Lagos State University when she was 18-years-old. Thereafter, she got admission into the University of Lagos where she bagged a degree in Theatre Arts.

Her major heartbreak was when her parents divorced. It affected her so much while she was in secondary school but her mum tried her best to make life meaningful for them.

Annie proved to be a good daughter by assisting her mother in her shop which was very close to their house after school continuously working to make ends meet.

She has however reconciled with her father after much pressure from her mum. Now they all have a good relationship with their father.

Career



Before her fame as a well-known Nollywood star, Annie took on any acting and modelling jobs that came her way. Receiving from ₦2000 to ₦5000 in fees, she never lost hope and continued to search for her spot. Some of her more famous employers included KC Jabari and Dakova.

Her first chance to show her face in a relatively big thing happened when she appeared in a music video of her then-boyfriend now-husband 2face Idibia African Queen in 2004. The video was very popular back in the day, and now has more than 7 million views on YouTube. 2face African Queen gave her a taste of stardom, and Annie realized that she wanted more. Right before her movie star career was about to start, Annie Macaulay-Idibia also participated in a beauty pageant called Queen of All Nations, where she took the third position.

She starred in her first Nollywood movie in 2009. Since then, her resume has included more than ten films, some of which were her famous roles in the movies like Blackberry Babes and Pleasure and Crime. Even though her acting career is shorter than that of the other famous Nollywood actors, it did not stop her. She managed to grab a nomination for Best Supporting Actress in 2009 at the Best of Nollywood, and secured a win at the 2016 African Entertainment Legend Awards, where she received a Fast Rising Actress prize. 

Marriage Life



She met her husband Tuface in 1999 and they started dating in 2002. Their relationship was constantly plagued with 2face’s cheating scandals. Though, there were times they had differences during courtship but the bond they shared and love for each other took them to the altar.
