Nollywood actress Ini Edo has shared her journey with infertility, disclosing that she had to opt for surrogacy after unsuccessful long-term attempts at carrying pregnancies.
Speaking on a recent episode of the reality TV series Young, Famous & African, the 42-year-old star reflected on her struggles with fertility and how they shaped her life.
Edo revealed that she got married at 26 with hopes of completing her childbearing journey by the age of 31.
However, her plans took a challenging turn as she faced persistent fertility issues during her marital life.
Despite the series of challenges, Ini Edo said she remained resolute in her desire to become a mother.
“My journey is one that I have not really been wanting to talk about because it is personal. I went through surrogacy. I never thought I would be someone who would have fertility issues,” she revealed.
“But I have had issues carrying pregnancies long-term. And it looked like it was not going to happen the way I wanted it to happen. So, this option came and I took it.”
Edo shared that she opted for surrogacy in 2023 to achieve her dream of motherhood, a decision she initially hesitated to make public.
Edo was previously married to Philip Ehiagwina, a US-based businessman, in 2008, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2014.
