Later, in December, she reflected on her loss, expressing gratitude for the strength she gained through the experience, even though it didn’t go as she had planned.

Earlier this year, Shokoya dedicated a movie to her lost child, acknowledging that some pain never fades but instead becomes a part of us, making us stronger. She credited her deceased child for teaching her about sacrifice and strength.

Though the gender of her new baby has not been confirmed, it is believed that the actress welcomed a baby girl. Fellow actress Nkechi Blessing also shared her joy, posting on Instagram, "Oh Lord Jesus, you did this one! Big, big congratulations on the arrival of your bundle of joy. Ore kanka, Olorun a dupe."

This new chapter marks a poignant moment of healing and joy for Debbie Shokoya, as she embraces motherhood after her loss.
