Mdee, 33, says of her “very smooth” pregnancy journey so far, “He’s been so good to us. No real pain or symptoms. Some funny cravings and food aversions here and there. It’s been much harder in these final weeks because he’s preparing his arrival, but all in all we’ve been super blessed.”
Rotimi proposed to his then girlfriend, Mdee, on Dec. 30, 2020 in Atlanta. In an Instagram post, the singer/ actor revealed that this relationship is one that he prayed for years ago. “She said YES,” he writes. “You are my everything. My angel. In 2015 I prayed that whoever my wife was going to be and wherever she was at the moment I hoped that she was happy, having a good day and receiving GOD’S abundance.”

He continued, “Fast forward… YOU… you make me such a better man.. Im in debt to GOD For you. I will pay him back by loving you & giving you eveyrhing that you deserve.”
Vanessa also shared on her Instagram that she knew Rotimi was her husband after only a few weeks of dating. ” She wrote in December of 2020, “A year and a half ago the world laughed at me when I said I knew YOU were my husband only days after spending time with you. I didn’t blame them, after all it’s an uncommon and inexplicable feeling when you meet your soulmate. ( Also they’d met the Vee who had no plans to be married).”
