Rotimi sat down with BET</em> to talk about the joys of first-time fatherhood last October. “I was in that space of joy and felt an overwhelming amount of love–the kind of love that you really can’t explain,” the new dad shared with the press. “Every issue or every worry or doubt that I had in the world just vanished,” he added. “It brought me and my fiancée closer together because we’re figuring out this whole new thing that requires us to rely on each other that’s making us even better friends.”

Vanessa and Rotimi decided to name their son Seven Adeoluwa after Biblical and Yoruba principles. “We had another name in mind, but I thought Seven would be perfect because it’s like completion,” Rotimi shared.
“Seven in the Bible is the number of completion. And his middle name, Adeoluwa, means ‘God’s crown’ in Yoruba,” the celebrity father revealed. “We wanted a really powerful name that speaks to him and his family, and he completes us. That’s the perfect name.”
