“My Biggest GEM @gemma_olayinka is 4 years old today
The most beautiful girl ever
You are a piece of my heart walking this earth
Happy Birthday to My First Fruit, My Precious Princess Gemma
Today, my heart is full of gratitude because God chose me to be your mother. You are not just my daughter; you are my first child, my first heartbeat outside my body, my first experience of a love so deep that words could never fully describe it.
The day you came into my life, you changed me forever
You made me a mother. Through you, I discovered a strength I never knew I had, a love I never knew existed and a purpose that continues to grow with every passing day.
Watching you grow has been one of life’s greatest blessings. Every smile, every milestone, every hug, every little achievement has filled my heart with immeasurable joy. You will always hold a special place in my heart because you are the beginning of one of the most beautiful chapters of my life.
You are my first blessing, my answered prayer and the one who first called me Mom.
That is a gift I will treasure for the rest of my life.
My sweet Gemma, I pray that God will continue to watch over you, protect you and order your steps. May He surround you with His favour, fill your life with joy, wisdom, peace and unconditional love. May every dream He has placed in your heart come to pass and may you never lack His grace and mercy. May your life continue to radiate God’s light and may your heart always know how deeply you are loved”.
On her daughter’s birthday last year, the Yoruba actress revealed that she had always dreamed of being blessed with an amazing child, but never imagined it would be perfect. Expressing pride in her, Yetunde thanked her daughter for choosing her as her mother and prayed for her.
For their daughter’s first birthday in 2023, Yetunde spared no cost for her her as she and her husband footballer threw their daughter a Barbie-themed bash with lots of game activities and goodies for the kids. The party’s highlight was when the celebrant pulled up to her birthday bash in her red Range Rover like the Princess she was.
Additionally, her parents had made her the youngest landlady by giving her a mini estate in her name.
