It is the birthday of Anita Okoye, the ex-wife of music star Paul Okoye, otherwise known as Rudeboy.

Taking to her Instagram page, she shared new photos of herself as she expressed gratitude for answered prayers and even the unseen blessings that have shaped her path.

She revealed that she was embracing the new year with love, gratitude, and a heart open to whatever comes next.

Anita prayed that she, as well as others, trust the journey, celebrate their progress,s, and keep moving forward with faith. The mother of three cheered on to the beauty of growth and the power of gratitude.

“I’m endlessly grateful for answered prayers and even the unseen blessings that have shaped my path. Embracing this new year with love, gratitude, and a heart open to whatever comes next.
May we all trust the journey, celebrate our progress, and keep moving forward with faith.
Here’s to the beauty of growth and the power of gratitude.
It’s my birthday”.

Last week, Anita received praise from netizens following the meet-up between her siblings and their new half-sibling. Kemi Filani reported in October that Paul Okoye and Ivy Ifeoma had welcomed their first child, a baby girl in the United States.

Confirming the news, Paul Okoye had shared an adorable video of his older children with Anita, meeting their new sibling. Sharing the post, Okoye revealed that the past months had been filled with joy in his family, and it was the sweetest period in their lives. The adorable video has left many gushing and praising Anita Okoye for her maturity.

It is no longer news that Anita and Paul finalized their divorce in 2022 and the singer swiftly moved on with model, Ivy Ifeoma who he got married to in May of this year.

Despite their divorce, the former couple had kept things amicable between them. Last year, the estranged couple reunited at his concert in Detroit with his twin brother, Peter Okoye. Paul had taken his kids to his concert rehearsal alongside his ex-wife. However, the couple maintained social distance as they didn’t interact in the video.

Speaking out about it, Anita expressed pride in reuniting with the singer for the kids’ sake as she joyfully spoke out about the concert.

In April, the Paul and Anita reunited to celebrate their first child’s birthday. They had treated him to a low-key birthday bash and were later seen in an Instagram video happily chatting with one of their family members.

On Mother’s Day, Paul Okoye had sweetly celebrated Anita, and she had reciprocated it on Father’s Day.

Unfortunately, things didn’t last long between the two as in August, they unfollowed each other. Kemi Filani checked their respective Instagram pages and noticed the former couple and parents of three had clicked the unfollow each other. This came after Paul bought a second mansion in the US, presumably for his pregnant wife.
