Popular Nigerian actress, Ini Edo, recently shared the reasons behind her choice to have her daughter through surrogacy.
In a candid interview with Chude Jideonwo, she opened up about her struggles with recurrent miscarriages and her eventual decision to pursue surrogacy to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother.
Having experienced multiple miscarriages, Ini Edo expressed her exhaustion from the heartbreaking attempts.
She revealed that without a husband by her side, she made the difficult choice to opt for surrogacy.
Unfortunately, when a scandal erupted concerning the surrogacy, she found herself overwhelmed and had a moment of emotional distress, recounting how she blanked out in her car.
During the interview, the Nollywood star also touched upon her previous marriage to Philip Ehiagwina, expressing her regrets about the union.
She shared that family pressure played a significant role in her decision to marry him. However, Ini Edo made it clear that she remains open to the idea of marriage again, but only if the right person comes along.
If not, she has come to terms with the idea of being content without a marital bond.
Ini Edo tied the knot with her ex-husband in 2008, but their marriage encountered difficulties and eventually ended in 2014.
The actress’s journey through surrogacy and her reflections on past relationships provide a glimpse into her personal life.
