Ayo ‘AY’ Makun, the Nigerian stand-up comedian, and Mabel, his wife, have welcomed their second child — a baby girl — together.
The entertainer announced the arrival of their daughter in an Instagram post on Tuesday. In the post, the 50-year-old comedian said the baby’s arrival is an answered prayer to the family’s request in the last 13 years.
He also thanked friends and fans who supported his family amid their quest to have another baby after Michelle, their first child.
“Our prayers in the last 13 years has been answered. Ayomide thank you for making @realmabelmakun and I, Mummy and daddy again. Thank you for making Michelle a big sister,” he wrote.
“Thanks to everyone who kept us in their prayers and never stopped feeding us with positive vibes.”
AY also said the baby’s arrival is further proof that God’s time is always the best.
He enjoined people to trust God with all their hearts regardless of the odds.
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. God’s time is always the best,” he added.
The couple tied the knot in November 2008 and are already parents to Michelle. The pair had celebrated their 13th wedding anniversary in November last year.
