New photos have surfaced from the private traditional wedding of legendary Nigerian singer Innocent “2Baba” Idibia and Edo-born politician Hon. Natasha Osawaru, which took place on Friday, July 25.
The intimate ceremony which blended Benin royal-inspired regalia with modern Nigerian glamour, was attended by close family and friends.
In the images making the rounds, 2Baba is seen in full traditional attire, adorned with coral beads, sitting beside Natasha, who stunned in regal red before changing into a pink embellished gown for the later part of the celebration.
While both parties have kept their romance away from the limelight, industry whispers suggest 2Baba and Natasha have been quietly seeing each other for a while — long enough to build a serious bond before deciding to formalize their union. See more photos:
Natasha, a rising political figure and philanthropist, is known for her high-profile charity work and strong presence in Edo State’s political scene.
Sources close to the couple say their relationship blossomed, particularly after 2Baba’s long-time marriage to actress Annie Idibia began showing cracks.
Recall 2Baba and Annie Macaulay-Idibia’s marriage had been under public scrutiny for years, largely due to long-standing blended family tensions and recurring infidelity rumours.
Even before Natasha came into the picture, Annie had publicly expressed hurt over 2Baba’s history with his children’s mothers. A now-famous 2021 outburst on social media saw Annie accuse 2Baba of disrespect and continuing contact with one of his exes.
The pair reconciled publicly multiple times, posting loved-up images after disputes, but insiders hinted that trust issues lingered.
By late 2024, multiple reports indicated the couple were living apart, with Annie focusing on her acting and brand projects while 2Baba kept a lower romantic profile. The official word was “separated, but cordial,” especially for the sake of their two daughters.
By the time Natasha Osawaru became publicly linked to 2Baba, his marriage to Annie was effectively over, even if the formal divorce process remained unconfirmed.
