Ini Edo’s Personal Projects and What to Expect from the Actor in 2025

Ini Edo is one of Nigeria’s most popular figures. Establishing herself as a household name by portraying a wide range of characters in Nollywood. From the funny and uneducated to the most captivating businesswoman. Her exceptional performances, business-savvy nature, and stunning looks are just a few reasons why Ini Edo has remained a celebrated figure in the Nigerian entertainment and fashion scene for decades.

Beyond her work as an actor and producer in Nollywood, Ini Edo has earned recognition through numerous endorsements, awards, and political roles. These include her position as the Special Adviser to the Akwa Ibom State government. She is also the CEO of Beauty Secrets of April, a beauty and aesthetics company committed to delivering high-quality, affordable, and effective products that cater to the diverse needs of her clientele.

Life and Family

Ini Edo was married to Philip Ehiagwina for over four years. After their divorce, the actress stayed single or, at the very least, kept her relationships out of the public eye. Of course, there were rumors of an engagement, possible marriage, and a potential traditional wedding, but aside from some social media posts and sweet captions, neither Ini nor Ik Ogbonna has publicly confirmed their relationship. Hopefully, her fans will get more insight and PDA from the alleged couple in 2025, beyond social media support and flirty comments.

Ini Edo and her daughter, Light

In 2022, the actress stirred an uproar after announcing the arrival of her child via surrogacy. Due to the reactions on social media, Ini Edo was forced to release a statement clarifying that the father of her child was not a stranger, but rather a close friend who had agreed at the time to help her have a child with no strings attached.

Although it was quite controversial when she announced the birth of her child and she promised that her child would lead a private life, there have been a few clips, shadows in the background, and even a back view of her beautiful daughter, Light. More recently, a cheerful conversation between Light and Ini Edo about eggs went viral.

Regardless of the controversy and issues that arose at the time, Ini has been having a great time and is grateful for taking advantage of the opportunity to have her child after several years of trying. She even wishes she had gone that route earlier.
