Veekee James addresses pregnancy rumours with new announcement
By Damilola Akinwale –
Nigerian celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has addressed online pregnancy rumours after sharing a picture of herself in what appeared to be a maternity photoshoot.
The fashion designer sparked reactions online after posting a silhouette picture showing her with a protruding belly, accompanied by the caption, “The Beginning of a Beautiful Bond”. The post came barely six months after she welcomed her first child.
However, she has returned to social media to clarify the meaning of the post. In an Instagram update shared on Friday, Veekee announced her ambassadorial deal with Elan Haircare, alongside a picture of herself with the brand’s products.
She wrote: “The beautiful bond? It’s between me, my hair and ELAN. So excited to officially join the ELAN family as a brand ambassador! Here’s to a beautiful new chapter, rooted in care. Let’s do this, @elan.haircare”.
Reacting to the announcement, Elan Haircare also confirmed the partnership, describing Veekee as the brand’s first ambassador and suggesting that the baby people thought she was expecting was actually its products.
“We have a baby, but not the type you thought. Welcome our baby girl, our first Elan ambassador, @veekee_james. We can’t wait for all the exciting memories we get to build together,” the brand announced.
Meanwhile, Veekee’s initial post sparked conversations online, with health practitioners and other well-wishers expressing concerns about her safety and advising nursing mothers against another pregnancy barely six months after childbirth.
They cited possible health risks, including uterine rupture and preterm birth, although the pregnancy speculation was not confirmed by the fashion designer.
