Toyosi Adesanya, the Nollywood actress, is finally a mother.
In a post shared on Saturday by Biola Adebayo, a
close colleague and friend, Adesanya welcomed her first child through a
surrogate mother.
Announcing the birth, Adebayo revealed that she has been
named the child’s godmother.
Adesanya first opened up about her infertility struggle in 2024 when she recounted undergoing a laparoscopy and two failed IVF attempts in 2009 and 2011.
She narrated that she sold her valuables to afford the
procedures, which cost N900,000–N1 million at the time.
The actress then added that she lost three other pregnancies
due to various medical issues.
“I got married in 2007, and I was already pregnant during our wedding ceremony,” she said.
“Two months after we travelled back to Akure, where my
husband stays, I saw blood in my dream and also when I woke up. I told my
husband (now ex), and he said I might have lost the pregnancy due to stress.
“Meanwhile, I have not gone to any location; the one I had
to go to was still in December 2007, and I already lost the pregnancy in
September 2007.
“In 2008, Fathia Balogun encouraged me to try for pregnancy
again and introduced me to a woman.
“I went to the woman, she gave me some herbal medications, and I got pregnant again. After a while, I lost the pregnancy.”
Adesanya started her acting career in the Yoruba film
industry over thirty years ago.
She has starred in films like ‘Alagogo Ide’, ‘Oru’, ‘Iwo’
and ‘Adeda’. She has also been recognised for her talent.
