For months now, the story of 2Baba, his ex-wife Annie Macaulay, and his new partner Natasha Osawaru has dominated conversations across Nigeria. What began as a quiet marital strain soon evolved into one of the most widely followed celebrity sagas of 2025 — marked by heartbreak, accusations, new love, and public reinvention.
The first major shock came when 2Baba announced early in 2025 that he and Annie had separated and that divorce papers had been filed after more than a decade of marriage.
Shortly afterward, Annie disappeared briefly from social media before returning with a clean slate — wiping her Instagram, sharing a short note of gratitude, and signing it not as “Annie Idibia,” but with her maiden name, “Annie Uwana Macaulay.” It became immediately clear that she was reclaiming her identity and drawing a line under her past with 2Baba.
While the public was still processing the separation, 2Baba stepped forward with a revelation of his own. He confirmed that he had found love again — this time with Natasha Osawaru, a young Edo State lawmaker who serves as Deputy Majority Leader of the state’s House of Assembly. He also insisted that she had nothing to do with the collapse of his marriage and asked the public not to cast her as the villain.
Natasha herself soon signaled her place in 2Baba’s life. By March, she had changed her surname on social media to “Idibia,” further fueling talk that the relationship was serious. Before long, photos surfaced online showing what appeared to be a private traditional wedding ceremony between both of them.
In a December video, he accused certain members of his extended family of interfering in his private life to the point of destabilizing both his marriage to Annie and his new relationship with Natasha. He hinted that Natasha had even faced threats simply for being with him.
