Veekee James announces second pregnancy six months after welcoming first child

Nigerian fashion designer Veekee James has announced that she is expecting her second child with her husband, Femi Atere, barely six months after welcoming their first daughter, Eliana.

The designer shared the pregnancy news on Instagram on Thursday, posting an image that showed the silhouette of her growing baby bump.

Veekee accompanied the photograph with the caption, “The Beginning of a beautiful bond.”

The fashion entrepreneur and Femi welcomed their first child, a daughter named Eliana, on May 2, 2026. They subsequently introduced the baby to the public on May 14.

Veekee’s latest announcement comes after she documented her first pregnancy on social media. In February 2026, she announced that she was expecting her first child through a video featuring her husband, her growing baby bump, and ultrasound images.

The announcement was followed by a lavish gender reveal celebration in Dubai, where the couple disclosed that they were expecting a girl.

When she announced the arrival of their daughter in May, Veekee also explained the meaning behind the child’s name, Eliana. According to the designer, the name combines ‘El’, meaning God, and ‘Ana’, meaning He has answered. She explained that the full name means ‘My God has answered’.

Veekee and Femi’s relationship has also attracted public attention since they began sharing details of their romance. The couple got married in February 2024, following their engagement in 2023.
