Last year, while celebrating Gemma’s birthday, Yetunde described her toddler as a true gem. The emotional actress said she couldn’t believe her daughter was 2, as the memories of her birth still linger fresh in her head. Expressing gratitude to her Maker, she stated that how her daughter makes her feel is unexplainable, as she brought joy to her and her father.
For their daughter’s first birthday in 2023, Yetunde spared no cost for her her as she and her husband footballer threw their daughter a Barbie-themed bash with lots of game activities and goodies for the kids. The party’s highlight was when the celebrant pulled up to her birthday bash in her red Range Rover like the Princess she was.
Additionally, her parents had made her the youngest landlady by giving her a mini estate in her name.
