In a turn that blends tradition with contemporary headlines, iconic Nigerian musician Innocent Idibia, widely known as 2Baba, has quietly tied the knot in a traditional wedding ceremony with Natasha Osawaru — a politician and member of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP). The intimate celebration was held in Abuja on July 25, 2025, and attended by close family and friends.
This development comes on the heels of 2Baba’s publicly confirmed separation from longtime partner and actress Annie Macaulay Idibia earlier this year. The new union, though subtly hinted at by the couple in previous months, took many by surprise when vibrant images and short clips from the ceremony began circulating across social media platforms.
In the visuals, 2Baba is adorned in his native regalia, while Natasha is elegantly dressed in a red beaded wrapper and adorned with traditional coral beads — clear nods to her Benin cultural heritage. The ceremonial aesthetics and familial warmth were captured with a quiet dignity that resonated beyond the glitter of celebrity culture.
The path to this new chapter began discreetly. Earlier in the year, 2Baba introduced Natasha to the elders of his Idoma community in Benue State. As part of his role as Technical Adviser on Entertainment and Community Outreach to Governor Hyacinth Alia, he has maintained a visible connection to grassroots and cultural matters — a fitting backdrop for such a traditional rite.
Though both parties initially kept their relationship away from the public eye, the tide began to turn after 2Baba’s February proposal. By April, Natasha had reportedly paid a courtesy visit to 2Baba’s mother, a significant move interpreted as a family blessing, despite initial reservations.
Public reaction to the news has been wide-ranging — from expressions of surprise to heartfelt congratulations and nostalgic reflections on 2Baba’s journey through fame, love, and personal evolution. Natasha, known for her sharp political acumen and her previously quiet public profile, now finds herself in the glare of the spotlight — not just as a legislator, but as a partner to one of Africa’s most beloved musical icons.
2Baba, who is father to seven children from three women, was married to Annie Idibia for nearly 12 years. This new union with Natasha signals a new season in both their lives — one rooted in tradition, personal growth, and perhaps, renewed hope for enduring love.
As fans and observers continue to watch this unfolding story, one thing remains clear: even in the limelight, some love stories choose to blossom in silence
