Nollywood actress and producer, Toyin Abraham-Ajeyemi, has revealed that she was recently pregnant, but lost it.
The actress disclosed this in a chat with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu on a Channels Television programme: “Rubbin Minds.”
Abraham-Ajeyemi said: “Yes, I was actually pregnant recently.
“I lost it, but it’s fine.
“You know, most times they don’t always know what we are going through.”
She added that the unfavourable remarks from the social media did not help things for her.
She said: “When it happened, I cried.
“I just wanted to have one or two more children and I will be done.
“Things happened.
“I was so bloated and everyone kept battering me!
“Saying: ‘Look at you! You are too fat! Look at your husband! He is young.’
“But they don’t understand.
“So when they say all these things, guess what, I’m used to it.
“As an actress, you just have to or else you’d fall into depression.
“Once I see it and if I am not okay with the comments and you keep going, I will just block you.
“I don’t have time for negative energy.”
According to Abraham-Ajeyemi, though having one or two more children was part of her plans, losing the pregnancy was a setback.
She said: “They always want you to have a child, obviously yes!
“I have a stepdaughter and a son.
“So they keep asking: ‘When are you going to have another one? When are you going to give birth?’
“It’s not always easy….
“When the time is right, the pregnancy will stay.”
Abraham-Ajeyemi welcomed her first and only child, Ire, on August 14, 2019.
