Early life and education

Is Annie Macaulay from Akwa Ibom? What tribe is 2face wife? Annie Idibia was born in Ibadan, Nigeria, but she comes from Akwa Ibom State. Following her parents' separation, she moved with her mom to Lagos. She has described how the divorce scarred her in her early childhood and how tough it was growing up without one parent present.
While in secondary school, she became pretty depressed looking at how her mother struggled to fend for them and make life meaningful for her and her brothers. She, however, rose above the darkness that had engulfed her life and went to university. She studied at the Lagos State University and the University of Lagos, coming out with a diploma in Computer Science and a degree in Theatre Arts.

Career
Annie began working to make money very early on to help her mom out. Therefore, as soon as she graduated from high school, at just 15 years old, she took up an extra income source as a salesperson. Even while studying at the university, she maintained her side gig to support herself and be less dependent on her mother.
Acting and modelling
Before getting notoriety as a famous actress, Annie began taking small modelling and acting gigs. She received little money from work, between 2000 and 5000 Naira, but she held on hope that things would work out in her favour soon.
Her fortunes began to turn for the better in 2004 when she was featured in 2Baba's music video for African Queen. They were only dating at the time. The music video was a major hit at the time and is currently at 16 million views on YouTube. Around this time, she also competed at the Queen of All Nations Beauty Pageant where she completed as a runner-up.

Aside from her acting career, MaCaulay is the CEO of a wig and hair extension company and has a line of fake cruelty-free eyelashes called Lashed by Annie Idibia. Her hair business is located in Atlanta, Georgia.

When did Tuface get married? Annie met Innocent Idibia, 2Baba in 1999, and a few years later, in 2002, they made things official. However, their dating was off and on for several years before they tied the knot in a stunning Dulai wedding in May 2012. However, the time before their union was riddled with gossip and rumours.
2Baba has 7 children in total, with Annie Macaulay-Idibia's children being Olivia and Isabella. In the show, Young, Famous and African, Annie Macaulay-Idibia came clean about her husband's infidelity. She revealed how hurt she was by his promiscuous behaviour.

His first two children are sons, Nino and Zion, from Sumbo Ajaba. His subsequent three children are from Pero Adeniyi, Ehi, Justin and Innocent. Sumbo has moved on and is married to a pastor in Lagos.
However, Pero and Annie are not on good terms. They recently made headlines after Annie took to Instagram in September 2021 to accuse her husband of infidelity with his baby mama, Pero Adeniyi. In a since-deleted post, Annie wrote;
What kind of man takes his kids to Disney and spends nights in the same apartment with his kids and their mother! How many times have you gone to see your kids with Pero, and she stays with you and the kids under the same roof for nights?
Pero has since denied these allegations, but the damage was already done.
Annie Macaulay-Idibia is a force to be reckoned with. She has proven to protect her family at all costs and vows never to resort to divorce despite the various rumours haunting her marriage to Innocent Idibia. Do you agree with some of the reality star's questionable choices?
