Vanessa Mdee and her partner Rotimi have two children together who they were hiding from social media until November 2023.

The Nigerian-American actor together with his Tanzanian wife On Thursday, November 24, 2023, shared heartwarming family portraits on their Instagram accounts, showcasing their two children in a public debut.

The family made their debut appearance in coordinated maroon outfits, with Vanessa dazzling in a high-slit dress and matching head wrap, while Rotimi and the kids sported stylish blue custom-made attire.

Rotimi, widely known for his role in the hit TV series Power, revealed why he and his partner Vanessa Mdee made the decision to introduce their two children to the world.

“It took a lot of time to find the perfect moment to show my kids to the world… but today just felt right. Vee and I spoke about it 1000s of times because the Internet is such a place of negativity you start to feel like there’s no point BUT after discussion, we believed the love would overpower all,” Rotima captioned the photos.

Rotimi also mentioned the challenges that come with unveiling their children on social media, especially the concerns about their safety.

Despite the apprehensions, the couple, after weighing their options and seeking guidance through prayer, chose to share their “most precious gifts” with the world.

Vee Money hooked up with Rotimi in July 2019 after they met at the Essence Festival in the US.

Rotimi proposed to Mdee in December 2020 after a year of dating. The two lovebirds were blessed with their first child, a son named Seven Adeoluwa, together in September 2021.

The couple welcomed their second child, a girl named Imani Enioluwa, in March 2023.
