Celebrity fashion designer, Victoria James, widely known as Veekee James, and her husband, Femi Atere, have officially announced the birth of their first child, a daughter named Eliana Adeife Atere.
The couple shared the joyous news via Instagram on Wednesday, revealing that their bundle of joy arrived on May 2, 2026.
In her heartfelt post, the designer celebrated the milestone with the simple yet powerful caption, “She’s Here,” alongside the hashtag #elianaatere.
Reflecting on the spiritual significance of the name, the fashion icon explained that “Eliana” translates to “My God has answered,” combining the Hebrew roots for God (EL) and answered (ANA).
She further underscored the couple’s gratitude by citing the biblical verse 1 Samuel 1:27: “For this child I prayed; and the Lord hath given me my petition which I asked of him.”
This announcement comes months after the pair first shared their pregnancy journey with the public back in February, which had already set social media abuzz with anticipation.
The announcement sparked an immediate wave of celebration from high-profile figures across the Nigerian entertainment and media industries.
Media mogul, Mo Abudu, congratulated the couple, noting that the newborn is “beautiful,” while actress Osas Ighodaro and content creator, Kie Kie, shared their excitement over God’s faithfulness.
Influencer, Tomike Adeoye, and skit maker, Folagade Banks, also joined the digital chorus, praising Veekee’s strength and describing the new arrival as a “beautiful testimony.”
The birth of baby Eliana marks a new chapter for the Ateres, whose relationship and eventual marriage have been a frequent topic of admiration among fans.
As one of Africa’s most prominent bridal and red-carpet designers, Veekee James’ transition into motherhood has drawn widespread well-wishes from followers who have followed her journey from the initial pregnancy reveal on February 3 to this week’s long-awaited delivery news.
