Big Brother Naija season four housemate Saidat Balogun, well known as Avala, has welcomed a baby girl with her partner, Fawazzy.
The reality TV star announced the arrival of her daughter, Nayabella, in a post on social media on Sunday, where she shared photos of the newborn.
Avala said bringing her daughter into the world was a journey of strength, courage and grace, adding that the delivery was scary.
She wrote, “Welcome to the world, Nayabella.
“Tbh, bringing Naya into this world was a journey of strength, courage, and grace. My delivery was very scary. There were moments when I felt weary and afraid, but God carried me through every breath, every challenge, and every tear. His unfailing love sustained me, and I will forever be grateful for his mighty hand over my life. Now, as I hold my beautiful daughter in my arms, I feel a love deeper than words can express. Looking at her tiny face reminds me of God’s goodness and makes every moment of the journey worth it. My precious gift from heaven, my little miracle, and a piece of my heart I will cherish forever.
“Elanni is very happy to finally be an older sister. Thank you, Jesus”.”
Avala had announced earlier in October that she was expecting a child with Fawazzy.
The former reality TV star also revealed that she and Fawazzy had become engaged earlier this year before announcing their pregnancy.
Avala was one of the housemates on the fourth season of Big Brother Naija, tagged Pepper Dem, in 2019. She was evicted alongside Isilomo during the first week of the reality TV show.
The singer and songwriter has continued to pursue music and other creative projects since her time on the reality TV show.
