“It’s traumatic when people pressure me to give my son a sibling”- Toyin Abraham laments

Nollywood actress Toyin Abraham recently opened up about a deeply personal struggle she has been facing.


The actress stated in an interview with TVC, that people don’t seem to care about what she is going through and think she has conceived another kid for her husband, Kolawole Ajeyemi.

She revealed the immense trauma she experiences when people incessantly pressure her to give her son a sibling.

Toyin Abraham stated that as a mother, she understands the undeniable joy and companionship that siblings bring, but the decision to expand her family rests solely with her and her partner, especially with the fact that she already had a son and a daughter from her husband’s previous marriage.

She complained on how people had thought she was pregnant because she had a big tummy, without knowing whether she was on medication.

She urged internet users to stop snooping around and inquiring about people’s personal life, such as when they planned to get married, get pregnant, or have children.

Toyin Abraham lamented that it is essential for people to respect each other’s privacy and understand that such personal matters are not open for public commentary.

She said:

More than traumatic. People ask me when am giving birth. I have a son and God gave me a daughter (from her husband’s previous relationship). I have a son and a daughter yet people ask me when I will give birth to another. Telling me that Ire, my son is already old enough for a sibling. I would smile and tell them very soon and they would tell me don’t say very soon. They don’t even know what I am battling with. Even on my premiere day, my doctor was there, he had to be on standby for me.

Don’t ask questions, a few weeks ago people thought I was pregnant because I had a tummy, you do t even know what was wrong with me. You don’t even know if I am on fertility drugs or on a fertility journey, so stop telling people when are you guys to be a mother”.
