    Annie Macaulay embraces her new status, dazzles fans at Headies awards

    Annie Macaulay, the estranged wife of music legend 2Baba is definitely not missing her marriage.

    In fact, since her ex-hubby, announced their break up months back, on social media, the African Queen, has braced up the challenges, reinventing herself and living her dream afresh.

    This is evident following her return to social media, after months of staying away. The mother of two was one of the celebrities that turned heads at the 17th Headies awards, held last Sunday, at Landmark Event Centre, Victoria Island, Lagos. She was exceptionally stunning in her adire-print strapless crop top outfit and wide-leg trousers, covered in loud, swirling shades of pink, black, and lime green. Her fringe coat which complimented her looks, really set things off, leaving many in awe. Annie’s look at the event was not only a celebration of African women, but also, an indication that her life has just begun anew. It got everyone talking about her ravishing beauty, and the opportunities coming her way after her crashed marriage.

    Walking hand in hand with actress Regina Daniel, Annie practically stole the spotlight. Not only did she stop the show, but also, her re-introduction of herself as ‘Annie Macaulay’ at the event, all the more convinced any doubting Thomas that it’s forever over between her and the music icon. Her marriage to 2Baba, which had faced numerous controversies ended early this year, when the latter announced their separation on social media. 2Baba has moved on with his new fiance, Natasha Osawaru, an Edo lawmaker, while Annie is equally not left out, as she’s getting back her groove.

    Annie Macaulay confirms divorce from 2Baba at Headies awards

    Actress Annie Macaulay publicly confirmed her divorce from musician Innocent “2Baba” Idibia during the 17th Headies Awards ceremony held on Sunday night.

    The movie star, who had been silent on the matter for months, finally reacted while co-presenting the award for Best Afrobeat Singer of the Year alongside Farooq Oreagba, popularly celebrated as the “King of Steeze” from the 2024 Ojude Oba festival.

    While introducing herself on stage, Annie stumbled over her married name before quickly correcting it, signalling her return to her maiden name.

    “Annie Idi… Oh! Sorry, Annie Macaulay. Hey, single ladies!” she said, prompting cheers and applause from the audience.

    The confirmation follows signs earlier this year when Annie reappeared on social media in March — nearly two months after 2Baba announced their separation — and signed off with her full name, Annie Uwana Macaulay, notably dropping Idibia.

    Annie and 2Baba, who have two children, officially ended their marriage in January 2025 after the singer publicly disclosed their split.

    Since then, 2Baba has proposed to Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru and introduced her to his family and kinsmen in Benue State, fueling speculation about an impending wedding.
