Celebrity designer Veekee James sparks pregnancy rumours
By Damilola Akinwale –
Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has sparked pregnancy rumours, six months after welcoming her first child.
The entrepreneur took to her Instagram page on Thursday to share a silhouette picture of herself in a maternity photoshoot. She captioned the post, “The Beginning of a Beautiful Bond”.
The post quickly gained traction online, with fans and fellow celebrities expressing surprise and offering congratulatory messages. Others speculated that the picture could be a throwback from her first pregnancy, citing similarities between her hairstyle in the photograph and the one she wore at a recent event.
Veekee had earlier announced the birth of her daughter, Eliana Atere, following a widely publicised baby shower. She has since shared glimpses of her motherhood journey with her followers, documenting her daughter’s developmental stages and celebrating her milestones.
As part of her motherhood experience, the nursing mother had previously advised other nursing mothers against prioritising weight loss and fitness. She noted that adequate food intake was important for maintaining sufficient breast milk production to feed their infants.
Born Ruth Erikan James on June 9, 1995, Veekee is a Nigerian fashion designer, entrepreneur, gospel singer and convener of the monthly gospel concert, Zion Warship.
She married Femi Atere, the Chief Executive Officer of Mr Tidy NG, in February 2024. The couple welcomed their daughter, Eliana Adeife Atere, on May 2, 2026.
The fashion designer is yet to address the speculations surrounding the photograph.
