Linda Ikeji Reveals Baby Papa…

Renowned Nigerian blogger, Linda Ikeji, has finally disclosed a socialite, Sholaye Jeremi as her baby papa while releasing photos of her three-month-old son.

“Meet my son Jayce! And yes, Sholaye Jeremi is his dad. Unfortunately, he and I are a completely closed chapter,” her post read.

According to her, she welcomed her son in a hospital in Atlanta, Georgia in the U.S. on September 17, two days to her 38th birthday.

Going by the photos she released, little Jayce bears a striking resemblance to his father Jeremi, with whom she had a secret on-and-off affair over a three-year period.

In the post on her website, she shared how their paths crossed, and what led to their separation.

Linda, who described herself as single mum in the article, also addressed social media comments criticising her of being a hypocrite, for encouraging people to be celibate.

Linda’s latest revelation comes in the wake of allegations by the blogger, Kemi Olunloyo, that she faked her pregnancy to lure Jeremi into marrying her.

Not much is known about Jeremi except that he is believed to be an acquaintance of Nigeria’s minister of state for petroleum resources Ibe Kachikwu and Forte Oil chairman, Femi Otedola.

Linda’s Revealation in Full:
According to Linda, one question most people had on their lips was how and when she met the father of her child.

Linda said in her article that she was 35 when they met while her lover was 37 at the time.

She wrote, “Well, I met him 3 years ago at Wheatbaker Restaurant in Ikoyi in December 2015 shortly after I moved to my home in Banana Island, Ikoyi. It was a day after Christmas and I was having dinner with friends when he walked in. He saw me and the rest is history. He claimed at the time that he had never heard of me which was seriously a turn-on for me because up until then I’d only been meeting men who behaved like fans.”

According to Linda, whose sisters announced her engagement to an undisclosed man earlier in 2018, she fell in love with Jeremi at first sight and they started a love affair that nosedived after a while.

The affair went off and on and there was friction.

“A few weeks after we met, it seemed like we were planning a future together. This man was already calling me Linda Ikeji Jeremi and making all these plans but then just like that, it was over between us. I went from waking up every morning to love text messages from him to no more calls. I was just thanking God for finally sending me my own man when all of a sudden we were no longer talking to each other. Later he would tell me what scared him off. My public life.”

She added that he stopped calling her and the text messages also stopped. The affair stopped too but she kept going back to him.
By the time she got pregnant, he changed completely. She never had an engagement because he never proposed.

“To be honest if anybody had told me when we met three years ago, considering how deeply we cared for each other that I would fall pregnant two years later and he would completely turn his back on me for most part of my pregnancy, I never would have believed it but that’s what happened,” the blogger revealed.
