Theophilus Sunday Surprises Fans by Revealing His Son on His First Birthday
Gospel singer Theophilus Sunday and his Jamaican wife, Ashlee White, took to social media on Monday, April 27, 2026, to celebrate their first child's first birthday, sharing heartwarming pictures and a video of their baby boy.
The couple, who married in 2024, had kept the birth of their son private until now. In his birthday message, Theophilus dedicated the child to God, writing, "God's Mystery! happy birthday son, The God of your father is your God and only him will you serve."
The clip showed the baby watching his father on television during a ministration. The revelation stunned the music community, as there had been no prior public announcement of the child's birth.

Give it time, let it bloom and ripen."
Previous Controversy Over Wife's Attire

Critics argued it was inappropriate for a gospel musician's wife, while others defended her choice.
