Nollywood actress Ruby Ojiakor and her filmmaker husband, Moc Madu, have welcomed their first child, a baby boy. The couple shared the joyous news on Instagram, posting a heartwarming video of their newborn son, whom they have named Lotanna Haziel Madu.
In the post, Moc expressed profound gratitude to God, writing about the gift of their child:
“Here is Our Beloved Son, LOTANNA HAZIEL MADU (AKUABATA) (ENYI NNAYA). LORD, we thank YOU, because all good and perfect gifts come from YOU. We thank You, LORD, for this bundle of joy YOU brought into our lives. TWO HEARTS, ONE SOUL.”
The couple, who tied the knot last year, had first shared their excitement about expecting a child in a touching video of Ruby showing off her baby bump. Ruby captioned the post with a heartfelt reflection, asking which of God’s blessings she could ever deny.
Leading up to the birth, Ruby gave fans a glimpse of their journey, sharing moments that captured both her and her family’s reactions. In one clip, Moc’s overwhelming happiness was evident as he processed the news of becoming a father. Ruby also shared her daughter’s reaction—tears of joy and excitement as she realized she would soon have a sibling.
Just a day before welcoming their son, Ruby shared a glimpse from their gender reveal party. The couple, dressed in white, were captured in anticipation, and while the gender wasn’t officially announced, Moc’s jubilant reaction hinted at a baby boy. Ahead of her delivery, Ruby visited newly delivered mothers at Asaba Specialist Hospital, distributing diapers and wipes, showing her compassion and readiness to support other mothers.
Their journey together has been one full of love and milestones. In January 2025, Ruby surprised fans with her engagement announcement to Moc Madu. They sealed their love in a star-studded wedding on May 31st, where Ruby’s memorable gesture of kneeling and praising her husband went viral. Later in October, she shared that her husband had paid her bride price for a second time, affirming his commitment and leadership in their family. Ruby addressed critics who questioned their choice of wedding venue, emphasizing that their union was complete and grounded in love and respect.
The arrival of Lotanna Haziel Madu marks a beautiful new chapter for the couple, and fans have been celebrating with them every step of the way.
