Nollywood actress Ini Edo has candidly shared her personal journey with infertility, revealing that she underwent surrogacy after facing challenges in conceiving naturally.
Speaking on a recent episode of the reality TV series “Young, Famous & African,” the 42-year-old actress reflected on her struggles and the emotional impact they had on her.
“My journey is one that I have not really been wanting to talk about because it is personal,” Edo shared. “I went through surrogacy. I never thought I would be someone who would have fertility issues.”
Edo revealed that she had hoped to start a family shortly after her marriage in 2008 but encountered difficulties in carrying pregnancies to term. Despite these challenges, she remained determined to become a mother.
“I 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,” she explained.
Edo underwent surrogacy in 2023 to fulfill her dream of motherhood, a decision she initially hesitated to share publicly.
Edo was previously married to US-based businessman Philip Ehiagwina in 2008. The couple divorced in 2014.
