  • Nigerian music star 2Baba and his estranged wife Annie have refollowed each other on Instagram, sparking reconciliation rumors.
  • The move comes over a year after 2Baba announced their separation and intention to file for divorce in January 2025.
  • Neither party has officially confirmed a reconciliation, but fans are speculating about their relationship status following this digital reconnection.

Nigerian music legend Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, and his estranged wife, Annie Idibia, have ignited fresh speculation about a potential reconciliation after refollowing each other on Instagram. This digital reconnection occurred on Monday, according to online checks by Vanguard, more than a year after the couple publicly announced their separation.

The couple had previously unfollowed each other on the platform, making their recent decision to restore their connection a significant point of interest for fans. Social media activity has fueled widespread discussion, with many interpreting the move as a positive sign for mending their relationship following a high-profile split.

This development comes over a year after 2Baba publicly declared in January 2025 that the couple was separating and initiating divorce proceedings. Although the initial announcement was briefly removed, reportedly due to account compromise, the singer later confirmed his authorship of the statement. He has since married Edo State lawmaker Natasha Osawaru.

The history between 2Baba and Annie is deeply intertwined with the early stages of his career, notably featuring Annie in his iconic "African Queen" music video. They married in 2013 through ceremonies in Akwa Ibom State and Dubai, and renewed their vows in 2023 to mark their 10th anniversary. Despite navigating several public crises throughout their relationship, their latest online interaction has reignited conversations about their current marital status among observers.
