Nigerian Woman and Her Lesbian Partner Celebrate Pregnancy with Maternity Photoshoot
In a
heartwarming announcement that has sparked both celebration and conversation
across social media, Nigerian woman Jennifer and her Cameroonian partner Bandy
Kiki have revealed they are expecting their first child together.
The couple, who reside in the United Kingdom, shared the news through a series of intimate and joyful maternity photographs that have since gone viral.
Jennifer
and Bandy, who tied the knot in April 2025, returned to the same studio where
they had filmed their pre-wedding video earlier in the year to commemorate the
next chapter of their journey. In the maternity shoot, Jennifer proudly
displayed her baby bump while Bandy stood beside her, holding ultrasound
images. The couple’s expressions radiated excitement and gratitude, capturing
the essence of their shared anticipation.
Jennifer
captioned one of the photos with a heartfelt message: “So excited for our
biggest adventure yet! In February this year, we booked this studio for our
pre-wedding video. Last month, we returned for our maternity photoshoot. Life
is happening fast, and through it all, we remain grateful”.
Bandy
Kiki, a well-known LGBTQ activist and media personality from Cameroon, has long
been a vocal advocate for queer rights across Africa. Her marriage to Jennifer
and their public celebration of pregnancy mark a significant moment for
visibility and representation within the African LGBTQ community.
The
announcement has drawn a mix of reactions globally, ranging from congratulatory
messages to criticism from conservative circles, particularly within religious
communities.
Despite
the backlash, the couple’s openness and joy have resonated with many who see
their story as a beacon of hope and progress.
Their
maternity photoshoot not only celebrates the impending arrival of their child
but also stands as a testament to love, resilience, and the evolving narratives
of queer families in diaspora.
