Mike Edwards, a former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, and his wife, Perri Shakes Drayton, are expecting their second child. Drayton shared the news on Instagram with a photo of her baby bump, revealing that this pregnancy comes nearly five years after they began trying for another child.

She recounted their attempts to conceive again, during which she experienced an ectopic pregnancy. Drayton expressed her gratitude for the current pregnancy, stating that their family feels blessed to be growing once more. "We’ve been keeping a secret as our family is extending…YES," she wrote. "We are pregnant!! Having @matthewoedwards almost 5 years ago and through lockdown was a very different experience with appointments and the social aspect.

"Of course we’ve tried again between that time and I unfortunately experienced an ectopic pregnancy. We feel very blessed to be able to experience this journey again and grow our little family. @aireyys ready for round 2?"

Edwards, who is the CEO of Aireyys, a lifestyle brand focused on fashion and cigars, married the British track and field athlete in 2019. They welcomed their first child, a son named Matthew Olaoluwa Edwards, on August 26, 2020.

Drayton’s pregnancy announcement follows shortly after Maraji, the skit maker, revealed that she is expecting her third child.
