Actor Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, is celebrating the first birthday of his son, Chidubem Ikedieze, with his wife Stephanie Promise.

In a collaborative shared on Thursday, the 47-year-old offered touching prayers for his baby boy, calling on divine blessings for his growth and future.

“Hurrayyy!! My boy, Chidubem Ivan Michael Chinedu Ikedieze, is ONE,” the Aki na Ukwa star began.

“I stand on the altar of the most high God to declare upon you my son that God shall shape you to be a courageous man.”

He continued, “He shall bless your spiritual strength and resilience. May you grow in his faith and trust in Him, standing firm in His Word and seeking His presence daily. He will fill you with the Holy Spirit, empowering you to face challenges and temptations through His might and power.

“Father, do also bless him with wisdom and understanding. Help him to grow in knowledge and discernment. May he find joy in learning and develop a passion for truth and wisdom.

“Finally, I ask for Your guidance and protection over him. Keep him safe from harm and surround him always with Your angels. Grant him peace and confidence, and may every fear he holds be something that he stands up to, knowing that you are always by his side.

“HAPPY BIRTHDAY ODOGWU NWOKE 🎂💐🍡🍨🧁🍭🍫🍦
WE LOVE ❤️ YOU 😍🥰😘.”

The celebration comes a year after the actor confirmed his separation from his former wife, Nneoma Nwaijah, whom he married in 2011.

In July 2024, Aki revealed his new relationship with Stephanie Promise while celebrating her birthday.

In that post, he described Stephanie as his “partner, best friend, and soulmate,” expressing gratitude for her love and presence in his life.

Although the timeline of events between his first marriage and current one remains unclear, Aki has previously explained that he keeps his family life private to protect his loved ones from unnecessary public scrutiny.
