Surprised? Well, don’t be. Funke Akindele’s birthdays had always heralded new happenings in her life reports Kemiashefonlovehaven.
The ‘Jenifa’s Diary’ actress was born on August 24, 1976.
Recall that she celebrated her 39th birthday in 2016 by having a private wedding in London. Then, Funke was officially married to Nigerian rapper, Abdulrasheed Bello aka JJC Skillz.
Now with just some hours to clocking 40, the versatile actress is pregnant! The video of the Glo Laffta Fest which was shared online confirmed her baby bump on Sunday night and it went viral!
If what JJC Skillz leaked on Snapchat some weeks ago about the couple expecting a set of twins were to be confirmed, then it means Jenifa will soon be a mother of twins.
Not only is Jenifa as she is fondly called, becoming a mum at last, her ratings on social media has been on the rise. On Instagram, Funke rakes in over 3.6m followers (the first African actress to garner such)!
Moreover in a report by Nollygist.com, it’s researched that Funke Akindele’s Net worth is estimated at USD 1.4 Million.
Reputed to own one of Nigeria’s most popular TV Series ‘Jenifa’s Dairy’ where she plays the lead character, Funke became a hit after featuring in popular United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) sponsored sitcom; ‘I Need to Know‘ which ran on TV from 1998 to 2002.
The funny actress raked in money with her TV Series ‘Jenifa’s Dairy’ what with her unique mode of speaking the English language, which grew her fan base by 70 per cent.
Counting her blessings, the endorsement deals she got within a year (aside being a Globacom ambassador) increased over 80 per cent over the previous years. Mind you, she revealed that she started producing Jenifa’s Diary with proceeds from an endorsement deal in 2015.
From fashion, to sports betting, beverages, soaps and other essentials, Jenifa’s mouth-watering endorsement deals keep coming in with Western Lotto as her latest catch.
At 40 and with baby (ies) on the way, Funke Akindele-Bello definitely is celebrating huge successes on August 24.
Happy birthday in Advance, Jenifa.
