Linda and Sholaye often discussed marriage and raising a family, but their relationship hit the rocks all of a sudden. Though the pair tried to mend their broken affair in 2016, the attempt proved futile. The following year, as both Linda and Sholaye were not in any relationship, they used a new approach to fix their ailing affair.

They started dating again and even discussed marriage having their own child. But when Linda became pregnant, Sholaye dramatically changed his attitude towards his partner. Once madly in love, the couple then became estranged, and Linda Ikeji finally let go of the affair.

Linda was delivered of a baby boy after nine months of pregnancy. The child was christened Jayce sometime in September 2018. She sees Jayce as “the greatest blessing of her life”. The boy is only a few months old but has already become a celeb in Nigeria’s blogosphere owing to his caring mother and his charming looks.
