The expectant mother previously shared the news of her pregnancy, posting videos from a maternity photoshoot with her husband and revealing her ultrasound.

She later uploaded a video encouraging friends and her online followers to contribute items via her baby registry, providing the link both in her Instagram bio and on her story.

Veekee also expressed gratitude to celebrities like Kunle Remi, who reportedly purchased several items from the registry.
