It’s Double Joy! Adekunle Gold, Simi Welcome Twins
The Nigerian entertainment industry is buzzing with celebration as the beloved music power couple, Adekunle Gold and Simi Welcome Twins, marking a beautiful expansion of their family. The news was officially confirmed by Adekunle Gold on Wednesday, January 7, 2026, through a series of emotional posts on his Snapchat story.
In a message that quickly went viral, the singer expressed his profound gratitude for the new additions, writing, “Asked God for another child and He blessed me double.” The announcement was accompanied by a playful image of two tiny baby outfits with the caption “Double Trouble,” signaling the arrival of the newborns just as the new year begins.
This heartwarming development comes shortly after the couple subtly hinted at their expanding family in the music video for Adekunle Gold’s single, “My Love Is The Same,” released in late December 2025. The visuals for the track, which is a deeply personal piece from his sixth studio album Fuji, featured a visibly pregnant Simi in a series of intimate family moments.
The video also included their first daughter, Adejare “Deja” Kosoko, who was born in May 2020 and became the inspiration for Simi’s legendary anthem “Duduke.” By weaving the pregnancy reveal into their art, the couple continued their tradition of sharing major life milestones through storytelling rather than conventional press releases.
Industry colleagues and millions of fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, praising the couple for their ability to maintain a dignified private life while remaining at the pinnacle of the Afrobeats scene. While the genders and names of the twins have not yet been revealed, the arrival of the “Gold Twins” has already been dubbed a “divine compensation” and a testament to the couple’s enduring love story, which began with a private wedding in January 2019.
For many, the transition from being a family of three to a family of five is a major cultural moment, symbolizing the perfect harmony between successful professional careers and a thriving home life.
As Adekunle Gold and Simi settle into this new chapter of parenthood, the arrival of the twins is expected to inspire a new wave of music. Historically, the couple has been known to channel their personal joys and struggles into their discography, and fans are already speculating that a “Duduke” equivalent for the twins may be in the works. For now, the “AG Baby” and “Simi Army” fanbases are simply basking in the joy of the news, celebrating the fact that for this iconic duo, the blessings have indeed come in double portions.
