Popular Yoruba actress, Ariyo Oluwakemisola (popularly known as Kemity) has spoken candidly about having two children with different men.
During an interview on Biola Bayo’s podcast which was shared on Instagram on Tuesday, Kemity revealed that her first child was with her first love, who she described as the man who ‘dis-virgined’ her. She explained that she got pregnant after their relationship, but tragedy struck when he was murdered in a hotel shortly after returning from Malaysia.
‘I have two children for two men. The first man dis-virgined me and I got pregnant. He later travelled to Malaysia, and he came back and was killed in a hotel. That was how I became a widow, she said in Yoruba.
Kemity clarified that it was never her intention to have children with different fathers, stressing that her own mother had all her children with one man.
‘People are saying I have two kids with different men, saying all sorts without knowing the story behind it. Even my mum gave all her children the same father’.
The actress also used the moment to offer prayers for single mothers, urging society to show more understanding instead of condemnation.
‘I am using this opportunity to pray for single mothers who work hard to raise their kids, that God will help them. And to those of you who abuse people because they have kids with different fathers, that was not our plan. If that was our plan, let’s pray you go through the same thing we went through’, she added.
