Nika Diwa Expecting Third Child with Husband Emeka Ihedigbo
Influencer Nika Diwa and her husband, Emeka Ihedigbo, are thrilled to announce that they are expecting their third child. Already parents to daughters Zuri, aged 2, and Zion, aged 4, the couple shared their joy with PEOPLE in an exclusive interview. Diwa, aged 35, revealed that despite previously stating they were done having children, a small part of her had always wondered if they were truly finished expanding their family. The couple acknowledges that their friends were equally surprised by the news.
Diwa first suspected she was pregnant when she noticed her clothes feeling tighter and experiencing unusual fatigue during a workout. Reflecting on her second pregnancy, she recognised the signs and decided to take a test, which came back positive. The expectant mother admitted that this pregnancy has been particularly challenging, with symptoms like nausea, exhaustion, and prenatal depression. However, with the support of her doctor, she has established a safe treatment plan to help her through.
As the couple prepares to welcome their newest addition in February, they are eagerly anticipating finding out the baby’s gender and have already begun discussing potential names. Diwa shared that while she named their first two children, it is now her husband’s turn to choose a name, revealing that he has a boy’s name in mind but is still considering options for a girl. Despite the difficulties of this pregnancy, Diwa expressed a mix of nerves and hope for the future, believing that the new baby is a miracle that will bring even more joy to their family.
Embracing the challenges of pregnancy, Diwa emphasised the importance of self-compassion and acknowledged the incredible feat her body is undertaking. She compared growing a baby to running a marathon and highlighted the strength it requires. With a sense of gratitude and a deep sense of responsibility, she spoke about her desire to raise kind, strong, and loving children, expressing her readiness to embark on this journey once again.
Looking ahead to the future, Diwa shared her excitement about expanding their family and the opportunity to nurture another beautiful soul. She reflected on the profound impact her daughters have had on her life and expressed her belief that each child is a gift that adds to the richness of their family. As they wait for their new arrival, Diwa and Ihedigbo are filled with anticipation and readiness to embrace the changes that a new baby will bring to their lives.
