Gifty Powers, the former Big Brother Naija (BBNaija) housemate, has welcomed her third child – a boy.

In an Instagram post on Tuesday, the reality TV star shared pictures of her baby bump.

In the post’s caption, Powers expressed her excitement about becoming a mother of three — two boys and a girl.

The reality star said she is proud of her growth and how far she has come in her life journey.

“I am a mother again!! It’s a boy. A mother to two boys and a girl,” she wrote.

“After birth, there were nights I would cry while patting my son to sleep, why? Because I’m proud of how far I’ve come.

“My life journey has been a crazy ride, but in each of my journeys, I have come to realise that, where and who you choose today determines your tomorrow, indeed this quote is a fact.”

Powers said she cherishes the demanding responsibility of motherhood.

She also expressed gratitude to God for her transformed life.

“Motherhood is a responsibility, a challenging one at that, but I’ve loved every bit of it and would not change a thing,” she added.

“I could write a whole book about how my world turned from 60 to 360, but I still thank God for all of it.”

The reality star, however, remained reticent about the identity of her children’s father.

Powers caught the public eye as a contestant on the 2017 edition of BBNaija titled ‘See Gobbe’.

She has previously made headlines due to her tumultuous relationships.

In 2020, she celebrated the birth of her second child.

Earlier this year, she introduced her new lover on social media.
