Celebrity fashion designer Veekee James has unveiled her daughter’s face for the first time as she celebrated her birthday on Tuesday.
The designer shared photographs on Instagram featuring herself and her baby girl, marking the first time the child’s face has been shown publicly since her birth.
Reflecting on motherhood, Veekee said the experience has changed the way she views birthdays.
“A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age… It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER! This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body. Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever. I’m super grateful to the Almighty God for every lesson, sacrifice, laughter, and every moment that motherhood has brought into my life. A title I’m most proud of and the blessing I’ll cherish forever. 🤍👑🎂👶❤️ @felixcrown I do not have the words to thank you for capturing this unforgettable moment of mine so beautifully 🥹🙏🏼”
Veekee and her husband Femi Atere got married in February 2024 after announcing their engagement in December 2023.
Their traditional and white wedding ceremonies attracted widespread attention on social media and were attended by family, friends and several celebrities.
The couple announced the arrival of their first child, a daughter named Eliana Adeife Atere, on May 13. They revealed that the baby was born on May 2 and described her as an answer to prayer.
Before announcing the birth, Veekee revealed in February 2026 that she was expecting her first child with Femi, sharing a pregnancy video on Instagram with the message, “And two shall become 3.”
