Love Story Blossoms into Parenthood
Priscilla and Juma’s relationship has been in the public eye since the pair went public with their love story. Their cross-cultural union, bridging Nigeria and Tanzania, has often been celebrated as a symbol of love beyond borders. With the arrival of baby Rakeem, the couple’s love story has blossomed into a new chapter: parenthood.
For Priscilla, who has grown up in the limelight as the daughter of a Nollywood star, this moment marks both a personal and family milestone. For Juma Jux, one of Tanzania’s finest R&B voices, fatherhood adds another dimension to his artistry and public life. Together, they now step into the beautiful journey of raising their son.
The Arrival of Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala
The choice of name, Rakeem Ayomide Mkambala, reflects the couple’s desire to honor both their cultural roots.
