Award-winning gospel singer Mercy Chinwo and her husband, Blessed Uzochikwa, joyfully announced the birth of their first child.
The couple shared the happy news on Mercy Chinwo’s official Instagram page on the morning of October 27, 2023.
In the announcement video, which was part of the music video snippet for her newly released song “You Do This One,” she revealed her round baby bump as those around her sang and danced.
Mercy expressed her profound gratitude to God for the blessing of their child and also mentioned that her new song would be part of a forthcoming album.
Her caption read,
“Lord, we are grateful; we approach Your throne with heartfelt songs of praise and thanksgiving. You’ve filled our hearts with joy, our lips with testimonies, and our home with celebration. Indeed ‘YOU DO THIS ONE’.”
Celebrities, fans, and well-wishers rushed to Mercy’s comment section with excitement, showering her with congratulatory messages and prayers.
This announcement confirmed the pregnancy rumors and speculations that emerged in April.
On April 11, there were suspicions that the singer was pregnant after she posted a teaser video for her new song. The video showed what appeared to be a baby bump.
However, the rumors died down when there was no confirmation at the time.
Mercy Chinwo is married to Blessed Uzochikwa, a pastor at the WaterBrook Church and the Upper Room.
They got engaged in June 2022 and tied the knot in August 2022 in Rivers State, with the event attended by many influential people and celebrities like Banky W and Waje.
Their family has now officially grown by one, and Nigerians are celebrating this wonderful news.
