Kemisola Apesin, the Nigerian actress better known as Kemity, has revealed the circumstances that led to her having two children with different fathers.
The movie star opened up about her journey into single
motherhood in a recent interview on Talk To B.
Kemity also addressed the criticism she has faced,
emphasising that those judging her do not know her full story.
The actress disclosed that she became pregnant while in
senior secondary school (SS3) but was unable to marry the father of her child
at the time because her mother insisted she prioritise education.
“I have two children for two different fathers. The person I
gave birth to my first child for was the one who disvirgined me and that was
how I got pregnant. I was about to write my WAEC at the time. My mum loved
education, so she insisted that all her children must be educated,” she said.
“She agreed that once I had furthered my education a bit, I
could get married to him. My mum also asked me to learn a trade and I learnt
catering. I and my baby daddy still kept contact but he later traveled to
Malaysia.”
Kemity revealed that upon his return to Nigeria four years
later — without even informing her of his arrival — he was killed in a hotel
robbery.
“When he got back to Nigeria, he was killed in a hotel,” she
continued.
“He spent four years abroad and when he came back, he did
not inform anybody, even I was not aware. It was someone who called my mum to
inform her about his arrival. It was obvious that he was robbed and that was
how I became a widow.
“Many people come online saying how can I have two children
for two different fathers, they do not even know my story. Nobody prays to have
children for different fathers. That is why I tell people that I am a widow and
it was not because I was divorced.”
She revealed that she met her second partner seven years
after having her first child. According to her, they had a court wedding, but
the marriage eventually collapsed due to infidelity.
“We had a court wedding. When the issue of extra marital
affairs came up, I was already living with him. When I gave birth, he was
working in a fuel station, while I took up a teaching job,” she said.
“When I was done with the day job, I did extra lessons too.
I started noticing that he was acting strangely, he was no longer loving. He
would be on long midnight calls claiming he was talking to his boss but I knew
it a woman.
“You know we all have our limits and when I got to mine, I
told him.”
