John Boyega Reveals Marriage and Baby Boy on the Way

John Boyega has revealed that he has been married for nearly two years and that he and his wife are expecting a boy. The actor also said he has a young stepson, sharing details of his family life in an interview published October 4. Boyega said he and his wife held a small ceremony and may have a larger traditional Nigerian celebration in the future. He did not identify his wife in the interview. He described the couple’s preference for celebrating their relationship later, rather than making the wedding itself the focus, and joked that a future gathering would be large. The actor said the couple are expecting a son and that he is already part of a family with a young stepson. He described his family life as fulfilling and said he hopes to be present, consistent and loving as a parent. He also spoke about making room for family after periods when work had taken up much of his attention. Boyega recounted that he and his wife chose a two-toned wedding ring spontaneously during a visit to Walmart in Canoga Park. He called the ring sentimental and recalled the shopping trip fondly. His comments about the ring came as part of a broader conversation about his life and family.
