Makinwa had announced her pregnancy in August 2025, calling it the "biggest project" of her life. Yakira was born the same month. Her pregnancy garnered significant public attention, with some social media users questioning the identity of the baby's father due to Makinwa not being publicly known to be in a relationship. Others speculated about the authenticity of her baby bump. She later announced her daughter's birth, calling the child a miracle and an answered prayer.
