There has been a lot of speculations and rumors as to who is the father of her son, but Bimbo has remained tight lipped about who the father is. One speculation has it that, he is Nigerian but based in the United States, which is one reason why she relocated to the U.S to have her baby. However, there are still unconfirmed reports that the mystery man was still married while he was with the actress but it was also speculated that he plans to get married to Bimbo, as soon as he is done with his divorce proceedings.
