Nollywood Star Bimbo Ademoye Announces IVF Sponsorship for Fan on 35th Birthday
Popular Nollywood actress Bimbo Ademoye has made a heartwarming announcement as she celebrates her 35th birthday. In a generous move, she has pledged to sponsor the in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment for one of her female fans. This gesture replaces her usual birthday photoshoot, marking a significant shift in how she chooses to commemorate her special day.
Birthday Gesture Replaces Traditional Celebrations
The actress shared this decision on Friday, February 6, 2026, through a video posted on her Instagram page. Ademoye explained that she decided to give back to her community after receiving numerous calls and messages from fans wondering why she hadn't organised her customary birthday photoshoot. She revealed feeling exhausted by photoshoots this year and wanted to do something more meaningful that could positively impact someone's life.
According to her announcement, one woman will be selected from the comment section of her Instagram post to benefit from this generous offer. However, Ademoye clarified that she will not be the person choosing the final recipient, ensuring a fair selection process for this life-changing opportunity.
Inspired by Personal Film Project
The actress disclosed that this decision was inspired by her 2025 film Broken Hallelujah, which tells the story of a married couple struggling with infertility. Ademoye revealed she had made a vow to God that if this film reached at least 20 million views on YouTube, she would fund an IVF procedure for one of her female fans.
Although Broken Hallelujah did not reach this milestone, her later 2025 release Where Love Lives eventually surpassed 20 million views. While initially disappointed that her first film didn't achieve the target, Ademoye expressed gratitude that another love-themed project fulfilled the vow she had made. Now, as she celebrates her 35th birthday, she is ready to honour this commitment.
Emotional Reactions from Fans and Followers
The announcement has sparked an outpouring of emotional reactions across social media platforms. Many fans have taken to the comments section to nominate friends, family members, and acquaintances who have been struggling with infertility for years.
In her video caption, Ademoye wrote: "Someone you know might benefit from it. Please watch till the end. Thank you all for loving me the way you do. I hope whoever wins it gets a successful procedure. Congratulations in advance."
Fans shared touching stories in response:
- One user nominated a colleague who has been married for over 15-16 years without children
- Another mentioned their children's headteacher who has been married for over 10 years
- A student nominated her older sister who had to stop IVF treatment due to financial constraints
- Several others shared stories of friends and family members who have been hoping for children for decades
Background and Personal Journey
This generous act comes as Ademoye reflects on her career journey and personal growth. The actress has previously opened up about her relationship with her mother, revealing that her mother left when she was just two years old, resulting in them not sharing a deep connection. Despite this, Ademoye continues to fulfill her duties as a daughter while navigating the complexities of their relationship.
Her decision to support women struggling with infertility demonstrates her commitment to using her platform for positive social impact. By choosing to fund IVF treatment instead of indulging in lavish birthday celebrations, Ademoye sets an example of how celebrities can leverage their influence to address important social issues and support their communities.
The selection process for the IVF beneficiary is currently underway through her Instagram platform, with the actress expected to announce the recipient in the coming days as part of her birthday celebrations.
