Her post immediately triggered more congratulatory messages for the actress and her husband.

More than 35,000 people had written to rejoice with Funke and her husband Rasheed Bello, a.k.a JJCSkillz.

Earlier, a flood of congratulatory messages had followed unconfirmed news online that she had given birth to a set of twins.

Many adulatory messages were posted on the Instagram accounts of Funke and Skillz, despite the absence of an official statement from the couple, who married in 2016.

The 41-years-old actor also lent some credibility to the story when she wrote in her Instagram story:  “Thank you Lord. Oluwa e tobi (God is great), I am now being called a new name.”

Some of Funke’s fellow artistes joined in the adulation. Mercy Aigbe posted on Instagram the good news and wrote: Best news of the year! Jehovah overdo…Twins. To God be all the glory!! Congrats@funkejenifaakindele and @jjcskillz on the arrival of your twins! Iya Ibeji mo ba e yo”.

By noon, there were already over 4,000 congratulatory messages on her Instagram account, tagged to the post promoting the movie Chief Daddy.
