Nollywood actress, Ini Edo has opened up on her child’s paternity and why she opted for surrogacy instead of carrying the pregnancy herself.
Edo made this confession during the new season of Young, Famous & African when one of her co-stars, Nadia Nakai a South African rapper, asked if she was married during the group discussion.
The actress gracefully confirmed that she’s unmarried but has a daughter through surrogacy. Luis, who has always been a surrogacy advocate, quickly gave her a high-five as she shared her story.
She added that she had fertility issues and was failing to carry a pregnancy to term. She had to look into available options and adopt surrogacy.
In her words: “There was no man in my life at the time and I wanted to have a child. There are different ways to go about that. I don’t think surrogacy is something people just wake up and say that’s what they want to do.

“I never thought I would be someone who had fertility issues. But I’ve had issues carrying pregnancies long-term. When it looked like it was not going to happen the way I wanted it to happen and I wasn’t getting younger, I said, ‘What are the options? What is available to me?” She questioned.

“And then, this option came up, so I took it. And I’m very happy with my decision.” she stated.
The Actress also revealed that she had gone through IVF procedures to get pregnant and suffered six miscarriages before opting for surrogacy.
