Nollywood actress Funke Akindele has sparked reactions after teasing her colleague, Lateef Adedimeji, over a heartwarming video of himself bonding with one of his triplet sons.

Adedimeji had taken to his social media page to share an adorable moment with the baby, whom he was seen cradling while offering heartfelt prayers for his future.

In the video, the actor prayed that Allah would answer the child’s private supplications, fulfil his righteous hopes and grant him what was truly best for him.

The touching display of fatherly affection caught the attention of Funke Akindele, who stormed the comment section with a playful remark about the striking resemblance between the actor and his son.

“You don carry your carbon copy,” the actress wrote.

Responding to her comment, Adedimeji clarified that he was simply trying to get the baby to sleep, replying, “Trying to put him to sleep ni.”

The exchange has attracted attention from fans, coming months after the actor and his wife, Adebimpe Oyebade, popularly known as Mo Bimpe, welcomed their triplets.

Since the arrival of the babies, the couple have continued to share beautiful moments from their parenting journey, with Adedimeji particularly giving fans glimpses into his new experience as a father.

Recall that the actor recently opened up about the challenges he and his wife endured before welcoming their children, including mockery, stigma, false assumptions and hurtful comments over their journey to parenthood.

In an emotional message, Adedimeji noted that what some people once used to mock them had eventually become a testimony, while appreciating his wife for standing firmly by him throughout their difficult moments.

Speaking during an interview with Morayo Afolabi Brown, the actor also recounted his reaction when he discovered that his wife was expecting triplets, admitting that the news initially left him shocked.

He further expressed admiration for Mo Bimpe’s strength throughout the pregnancy and delivery, describing his experience of witnessing her become a mother as a feeling beyond words.

Adedimeji has repeatedly expressed gratitude for his new role as a father, describing the arrival of his triplets as an answered prayer.

Meanwhile, Funke Akindele has continued to maintain a cordial relationship with the couple, with the actress previously joining other celebrities in celebrating their journey into parenthood.
