Mercy Aigbe reveals why she decided no children for her second husband
Nollywood actress Mercy Aigbe has shared the reasons behind her choice not to have children with her second husband, Kazim Adeoti.
The actress, who entered into matrimony with Kazim Adeoti after a seven-year marriage with her ex-husband Lanre Gentry, discussed her decision in a recent interview with The Nation.
Mercy Aigbe candidly elaborated on her deliberate choice to refrain from expanding her family with her current husband.
In the interview, she was initially prompted with a question about the experience of motherhood with a teenager and a young adult, to which she provided insights.
MERCY AIGBE: “So, my daughter is so grown, she’s an adult now and you know she has been far away in Canada studying and at times when I look at her, I wonder aloud saying so, this is my daughter who is all grown up and it feels like I am getting old. To me, aging is a blessing but I want to be a baby girl for life so when I look at her, she reminds me that I am no longer a baby anymore.
Another thing is before when she did something wrong, I would shout at her, but now, I can’t shout at her because I remind myself that she’s now an adult, we have to dialogue and I would rather give her that liberty to make some decisions herself so I don’t influence all her decisions, I just have to be there to guide her and make sure she doesn’t make mistakes although mistakes are allowed if it’s not too much, it’s fine because you learn from it. And for my son, he’s also a big boy now and we give God the glory.
Then she was asked, “Are you still going to have more kids considering your young marriage?”
MERCY AIGBE: “You know someone asked if I was going to have another child and I am like no, maybe I would adopt but for now, I don’t know and we are good and to God be the glory.”
