Popular actress and producer Toyin Abraham has opened up about losing her pregnancy in Nigeria's film business.
The actress discussed what was going on in her life during an interview on Sunday night's episode of Rubbin' Minds on Channels TV with Ebuka Obi-Uchendu.
She and her husband, Kola Ajeyemi, already have a son and a stepdaughter, but she claims that she is frequently asked when they plan to have more children.
Abraham, who has experienced being labelled "fat," claimed she does not allow the taunts and slurs to bother her. She asserted that she would block people who make passive-aggressive remarks regarding her appearance rather than responding to them.
Abraham explained, “Things happen, and I get so bloated sometimes, and people start saying, ‘you’re too fat, look at your husband; he’s young, but look at you,’ but they don’t understand.
“Guess what? I am used to it because if you let all these things get to you, you will die of depression. Once I see your comments, and if I’m not ok with it, I block the person.”
She commented on her miscarriage by saying, “They always want you to have a child; obviously, I have a stepdaughter and a son, but they keep asking when you will have another child.”
“It’s not always easy, but when the time is right, the pregnancy will stay, and you will see it.”
Abraham answered affirmatively when asked if she wanted to increase her family size.
“I was pregnant, but I lost it. It’s fine, though. But when it happened, I cried a lot because I want to have one or two more kids, and I’m done, but things happen,” she said.
