Celebrity stylist and fashion icon Swanky Jerry has once again become the center of attention after sharing a series of glamorous photos with Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia during what appeared to be a private hangout in South Africa.
The two close friends, who have had a long-standing relationship both personally and professionally, were seen smiling and striking affectionate poses in the photos, sparking immediate reactions from fans online.
While Swanky did not specify the purpose of their meeting, his heartfelt captions and Annie’s warm replies quickly triggered widespread speculation about the nature of their bond.
Annie responds with affection
Reacting under the post, Annie left a comment filled with love emojis, saying, “My SWANKILICIOUS, loveeeeeeee you.”
In response, Swanky Jerry publicly declared, “We’ll be together forever,” a statement that quickly sent social media into overdrive, with many interpreting it as a romantic undertone rather than friendly affection.
Adding to the buzz, Annie’s daughter, Isabella Idibia, also commented with a brief but intriguing “Yes,” which only deepened fans’ curiosity about the pair’s connection.
Speculations grow amid Annie’s separation from 2Baba
The viral post surfaced roughly eight months after Annie and music legend 2Baba Idibia reportedly finalized their separation — a split that dominated headlines earlier this year. While Annie has maintained a calm public image since then, her latest interactions with Swanky Jerry have fueled speculations of a possible romantic chapter between the two.
Fans have been quick to recall that Annie and Swanky were once best friends before their widely publicized fallout in 2023, which played out during the “Young, Famous & African” Netflix reality series. Their apparent reunion has left many wondering whether their relationship has evolved beyond friendship or if they are simply rebuilding a strong bond after past differences.

Despite the mixed reactions, others defended the duo, saying there’s nothing wrong with two longtime friends sharing affection publicly and celebrating each other in style.
