Nigerian music icon Innocent “2Baba” Idibia has joined his estranged wife, actress Annie Idibia, in celebrating their daughter Isabel Idibia after the teenager received recognition for her growing presence in Nollywood.
On Friday, August 28, 2026, Annie shared a post celebrating Isabel after Lomofy Magazine recognised her among the leading Gen-Z actresses helping to shape the future of Nigeria’s film industry.
Annie expressed her pride in her daughter, sharing the recognition on her Instagram Story alongside the words, “Oh our sunshine, so so proud!” with heart and trophy emojis.
2Baba subsequently reshared Annie’s post on his own Instagram Story, adding a personal message celebrating his daughter.
“Our Uwana Jnr is now a superstar,” the singer wrote, using a family term of endearment for Isabel.
Isabel Idibia Earns Recognition Among Young Nollywood Talents
Isabel, the first daughter of Annie and 2Baba, is increasingly establishing an identity of her own within the Nigerian entertainment industry.
Her recent recognition by Lomofy Magazine places her among a generation of young Nigerian actresses regarded as promising figures in the future of Nollywood.
The recognition comes as Isabel continues to build her profile away from simply being known as the daughter of two of Nigeria’s most recognisable entertainment personalities.
She has previously shown an interest in entertainment, including appearances connected to acting and modelling. Reports have also highlighted her achievements during her school years, where she received recognition for academic and extracurricular accomplishments.
2Baba and Annie Put Daughter First
The public exchange between the former couple has attracted attention because of the history surrounding their relationship.
2Baba announced in January 2025 that he and Annie had separated and that divorce proceedings had begun, bringing an end to their highly publicised marriage. The couple share two daughters, Isabel and Olivia.
Despite their separation, both parents have continued to publicly express their love and support for their children.
2Baba’s decision to amplify Annie’s celebration of Isabel therefore stood out to fans, particularly because it came through a simple message of parental pride rather than a discussion of their past relationship.
The moment also comes shortly after renewed public attention surrounding the former couple. In July 2026, Annie dismissed reports suggesting that she and 2Baba had reconciled, describing circulating videos as old and the accompanying claims as false. 2Baba similarly dismissed the reconciliation rumours.
The latest interaction, however, was centred squarely on their daughter.
A Proud Moment for the Idibia Family
For Isabel, the recognition represents another step in developing her own career and identity within the entertainment industry.
With both parents publicly celebrating the milestone, the moment provided a rare glimpse of shared support for their daughter despite the changes in their personal lives.
2Baba’s short but affectionate message — “Our Uwana Jnr is now a superstar” — captured the pride surrounding Isabel’s achievement.
As the young actress continues to explore her place in Nollywood, the recognition could mark the beginning of a new chapter in which she increasingly becomes known for her own talents and accomplishments rather than solely through her famous family name.
