Nigerian TikTok personalities, Habeeb Hamzat, popularly known as Peller, and his wife, Jarvis, have revealed that they are expecting a baby boy.

The couple shared the news on Sunday, November 15, in a video and in separate social media posts.

“Today, our hearts are fuller than ever. It’s a BOY!” Peller wrote on X, adding that the couple cannot wait to hold their “little blessing” in their arms. The video, which appears to show a colourful gender-reveal setup with smoke bursting over a lawn, drew an immediate wave of congratulations from fans and followers.

Jarvis also described the pregnancy as the fulfilment of their prayers and dreams.

The announcement caps a fast-moving year for the couple, who married in a civil ceremony in Lagos on July 29, followed by a traditional wedding on August 1 and a white wedding on August 8. They confirmed the pregnancy on October 8 with a set of maternity photographs, calling the unborn child their “greatest blessing” and “answered prayer”.

That ended months of speculation among fans, after Peller had dismissed such talk in June and said the couple were not planning to have a child at the time. Reports at the time said they had already settled on the name Adelaja for the baby.

The gender had been a talking point in the weeks between the two announcements. A livestream clip that spread online on October 13 showed Peller saying he was expecting a baby girl, but he later said during a livestream around October 18 that the couple did not yet know the baby’s gender, when singer Tiwa Savage declared herself the child’s godmother. The couple have not disclosed the expected date of delivery.
