Nigerian fashion powerhouse Veekee James Atere and her husband, Femi Atere, are preparing for one of life’s most beautiful runway moments yet, parenthood.
The stylish couple has announced they are expecting their first child, sparking waves of excitement across social media and the fashion community.
The joyful news was unveiled on Tuesday, February 3, 2026, when Veekee shared an intimate video on her official Instagram page. Set against a soft, earthy backdrop, the clip captured the couple in coordinated neutral-toned outfits, smiling, embracing and gently celebrating Veekee’s growing baby bump. Moments from the video also featured ultrasound images, adding an emotional touch to the reveal.
Accompanying the post was a faith-filled caption that resonated deeply with fans: “And two shall become 3… Indeed this is what only GOD can do.” The announcement was instantly met with an outpouring of love, prayers and congratulatory messages from celebrities, colleagues and admirers across the globe.
Born Ruth Erikan James on June 9, 1994, Veekee James has risen to become one of Nigeria’s most influential fashion designers in just a few years. Since launching her brand in 2019, she has built a reputation for striking bridal couture, sculpted gowns and red-carpet statements that dominate major events across Africa. Her creativity and impact have earned her several honours, including the Africa Magic Viewers’ Choice Award for Best Designer of the Year.
Veekee and Femi Atere, who tied the knot in a widely celebrated wedding in February 2024 after their late-2023 engagement, have continued to win hearts with their love story and shared moments online. Their pregnancy announcement comes after weeks of quiet speculation from fans who noticed subtle hints in the designer’s recent posts.
Now that the news is official, excitement is building, not just for the arrival of their baby, but also for the maternity fashion moments many are eager to see from the style icon.
As the couple looks ahead to this new season of love, family and faith, well-wishers continue to shower them with blessings, marking the beginning of a deeply cherished chapter in their journey together.
