Their love for each other is incredible, and when they can help it, are inseparable! Ryan is literally the best little human ever! They’ve been on a few vacations together in the past, but this is the first one they will remember as they are nearly 6 and 7 now,” she wrote.

She took to her Instagram page to note that she never changed her son’s name because he had always been an Ikeji right from birth.

However, she added that if the boy wants to change it when he grows up, it would be his decision to make.

“Just to be clear. I’ve NEVER ever had to change my sows surname. He’s been an Ikeji right from when he was born! Where do I have the time or patience to be changing name? Changing Or keeping his sumame (Ikeji) will be up to him when of age Food for my junior colleagues”
