- Kiitan Bukola has opened up on her childhood struggle and how it has affected her outlook on marriage.
- The movie star while speaking in an interview with her colleague, Biola Bayo, revealed that while she likes the concept of marriage, she is scared of it.
Nollywood actress Oloruntimilehin Bosede Bukola better known as Kiitan Bukola has in a sit down shared her personal struggles and how her childhood experiences have consciously or subconsciously shaped her views on marriage.
In an interview with Biola Bayo, the actress revealed that while she loves the concept of marriage itself, she harbours fear about it due to her deep desire to provide a stable and loving home for her unborn children.
Kiitan Bukola explained that her apprehensions stem from her upbringing, marked by the absence of her father.
She disclosed that her father had several children, many of whom she has never met, with some connections only made through online platforms.
“The absence of paternal love and care has left a lasting impact on me,” she shared, reflecting on how these experiences have shaped her aspirations and concerns about family life.
The actress’s heartfelt revelations shed light on the emotional challenges she continues to navigate, as she strives to break the cycle and create a nurturing environment for her future family. In Kiitan Bukola’s words:
“I love marriage but at the same time, I am scared of it. Because I don’t want a situation whereby I will have my kids outside wedlock.
“There are some of my father’s children that I don’t know. The funny thing is I met some online. I didn’t have a father’s care the way I wanted it like I wanted that parental love – father, and mother together. Let me enjoy my home. It hurts me most of the time because I didn’t really enjoy it.”
The actress also shared her humble beginnings, recounting how she hawked food as a child. She recalled:
“I used to hawk pounded yam and efo back in the days. I will wake up at 3:30 am because we had to take it to Sabo in Ondo town.”
Recall in November 2022, the movie star announced her engagement to Kingsley on Instagram.
Barely two months after the announcement, the relationship hit the rocks.
In an interview in 2023, Kiitan Bukola revealed why she broke off her engagement with her ex-fiancé.
