Why I Choose Surrogacy, I Had A Couple Of Miscarriages – Ini Edo Opens Up On Her Failed Marriage (VIDEO)
Iniobong Edo, a well-known producer and actress in Nigerian movies, has taken her followers down memory lane by opening up about her surrogacy decision and her failing marriage, which ended roughly ten years ago.
The actress stated on the most recent episode of media personality Chude Jideonwo’s podcast that she initially got married due to “family pressure.”
On November 29, 2008, Ini Edo wed American-born businessman Philip Ehiagwina.
The couple was married for five years before divorcing in 2013. The actress and single mother expressed her sorrow for making the choice, saying that it was the incorrect one at the time.
Ini Edo, who recently made her daughter public on her second birthday, discussed her decision to use a surrogate in order to conceive. She noted that she had a few previous miscarriages and chose surrogacy because her eggs were in good enough health and she didn’t have a husband.
She said in part:
…I regretted my decision to get married because it wasn’t just the right move to make. Although I’d get married again if the right person comes.”
“I chose surrogacy because I had couples of miscarriages. And I just got tired of trying.
“I don’t have a husband. So, I’m like, I want a child for myself whether I have a husband or not. So, what other options would I have? And I wanted it to be my child. My eggs. Thankfully, my eggs are good. So I did that.
In 2021, Ini Edo announced the arrival of her first child, a girl through surrogacy.
