British-Nigerian actor John Boyega has revealed that he secretly got married nearly two years ago and has now welcomed his first child with his wife.
The Star Wars actor opened up about his marriage during a recent interview with The Guardian, explaining why he and his wife chose to keep their wedding private.
“We both like the idea of celebrating something established rather than celebrating the entry,” he said.
Although the couple opted for a quiet ceremony, Boyega revealed that he hopes to have a bigger celebration someday, joking that they would “have to shut Nigeria down!”
Speaking about starting a family, the actor expressed his happiness, saying, “My life is completely fulfilled in terms of family. It’s been so nice with the timing.”
At the time of the interview, Boyega disclosed that they were expecting a baby boy. However, the actor has since confirmed the arrival of their child through a post on Instagram.
"Our bundle of joy has been with us for some time now but thank you for all the well wishes. Also my sister is about to pop! Wish her well too! Back to feeding this big baby!"
Boyega also revealed that his sister is expecting a baby, adding a playful family update to his announcement.
The actor, who has built an international career through films including Star Wars, Pacific Rim and They Cloned Tyrone, has generally kept his romantic and family life away from the spotlight.
His decision to quietly marry and privately welcome his first child reflects that preference, even as he now gives fans a glimpse into one of the most personal milestones of his life.
Are you surprised that John Boyega managed to keep his marriage and the arrival of his first child so private?
