Alexer Perez Gopa is a Bayelsa State-born model, brand ambassador, and entrepreneur who has managed to keep her personal and professional life under wraps. The duo engaged on February 4th and walked down the aisle on March 27th, 2021, in a grand ceremony that left tongues wagging.

However, Harrysong did reveal that his first child, Daviva Okiri, is Alexer Perez Gopa‘s daughter. The couple welcomed their second bundle of joy, a beautiful baby girl, in December 2022, and he couldn’t contain his happiness as he took to social media to share the news. In his post, he shared a heartwarming photo of his fingers clutching the baby’s, accompanied by her name, Purity Okiri, and exact time of birth.

Interestingly, Harrysong announced in June 2022 that his wife was expecting their second child six months after the birth of Daviva Okiri. This is not the first time the musician is welcoming a child. In 2017, he announced the birth of a set of twins, a son named Perez Okiri and a daughter named Tare Okiri, with his then-girlfriend residing in Abuja. However, he has always maintained that Daviva Okiri is his first child and denied fathering the twins.
