Media personality Stephanie Coker and her husband, Olumide Aderinokun, have welcomed their second child, a baby girl, after five years of waiting.

Coker shared the joyful news on Tuesday through an emotional Instagram post, introducing her newborn as Morayo Anaya Olabisi Abisola Anjolaoluwa.

In her post, she described the baby as their “August visitor, answered prayer, and long-awaited gift,” suggesting the child was born in August.

“The journey to baby number two has been one of faith, surrender, tears, and hope. It has been five years of waiting and a long process,” she wrote.

Coker added that the arrival of her daughter fills their hearts with gratitude, joy, and peace.

“Ariella is now a big sister, and watching them grow together makes the journey all the more worth it. Welcome, our precious girl. You are loved beyond words, and your name speaks of joy, grace, and heritage. We thank God for your life, Snowflake,” she added.

Coker and Aderinokun got married in December 2016 and welcomed their first child, Ariella, in 2019 through IVF in Los Angeles — an experience she once described as “traumatic and crazy.”

In June 2024, the actress revealed she had struggled with suicidal thoughts after a failed IVF attempt to conceive her second child.

Fans and fellow celebrities have since flooded her comment section with congratulatory messages, celebrating the couple’s newest addition and their story of faith and endurance.
