‘I’ve had miscarriages’ — Ini Edo speaks on having child through surrogacy
Ini Edo, the Nigerian actress, has finally revealed that she had a child through surrogacy.
The 39-year-old film star brought the revelation to light in a chat with Stella Dimoko Korkus, the media personality.
Surrogacy is a practice where a woman (the surrogate) carries a child for another person through artificial insemination of eggs.
In the past few months, the internet has been awash with claims that the film star had a baby girl through surrogacy — but the actress had kept mum on the rumours.
But during the interview, Ini Edo said she opted for surrogacy to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother.
“Yes I do have a daughter and I had her through surrogacy. The Eggs are mine and so genetically she’s my blood.
I chose this path to fulfil my dream of becoming a mother,” she said.
“I still have a good number of eggs frozen in case I decide to do surrogacy again or carry my baby myself who knows.”
The actress also disclosed that she originally planned to make the news public on her daughter’s first birthday.
“I was hoping to talk about her on her first birthday in a few months but mischief makers beat me to it and spoilt the beautiful story with lies,” she added.
Edo also dismissed claims that she had the baby for a married man known as Kome.
