Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay has taken to social media to set the record straight on how she prefers to be described as a parent.

In an Instagram Story shared on Monday, the actress made it clear that she does not identify with the commonly used label for women raising children on their own.

“I’m not a single mum. I’m a single woman raising two children,” she wrote.

The short but pointed remark quickly sparked reactions online, with many users interpreting it as an attempt to correct what she sees as a misleading description of her situation.

Her statement comes more than a year after Nigerian music star Innocent '2Baba' Idibia confirmed in January 2025 that their marriage had come to an end and that divorce proceedings had begun. The announcement marked the end of one of Nigeria’s most talked-about celebrity unions.

The couple married in 2013 in two separate ceremonies and have two daughters together — Isabel, born in 2008, and Olivia, born in 2014.

Since the separation, 2Baba has moved on and married Natasha Osawaru, a lawmaker with the Edo State House of Assembly. The pair welcomed their first child, a baby boy, in November 2025.

Annie’s latest message appears to underline how she chooses to define her identity while raising her children following the end of the marriage.
