I got pregnant at 23

Popular Nollywood actress cum reality TV star, Bisola Aiyeola has opened up on how her mother took the news of her pregnancy.

Bisola Aiyeola explained that her mother was highly disappointed after she broke the news and that was the first time she wasn’t supportive.

Aiyeola appeared in the 2017 edition of BBNaija where she was the first runner-up.

She was also one of the contestants of Project Fame West Africa in 2008 where she came 5th.

The actress, in an interview with Chude Jideonwo , the media entrepreneur, spoke of her journey to motherhood.

She said getting pregnant straight out of project fame and her mother’s disappointment about it broke her. Bisola Aiyeola who recently became the first black female host of the Family Feud game show said:

“When I told her I was having a baby after project fame, my mum wailed, like ‘who’s this boy that has stolen my jewel?’ I had never seen my mum that said before.

“She was like, ‘this (project fame) was what I thought was going to be the pivot that would escalate us to success and happiness and now you’re having a baby.’ It broke me.

“That was the only time I’d seen my mum not really be supportive. I had my daughter when I was 23. After she got over it and spoke to my sister, now she’s happy and would randomly tell me, ‘thank you. I’m proud of you.’”

Bisola Aiyeola went on to reveal that she was raised by a single mother who was once successful, while her father was absent in her life. She said:

“My mum had two stores in Lagos Island. We were living [large] and people would call us London children. My mum traveled a lot. But life hit her. Her store got burned. She never got back on her feet.

“We hit rock bottom after which we started living from one family member’s house to another.

“I don’t have too many memories of my dad because he wasn’t really present in our lives. He left when I was 3 and I saw him only once after that. I think I was 13 at the time when he came to visit.

“Years before he passed, I called. I thought talking to him would spark something and make him want to reach out to me more. But it dawned on me there was nothing here. ‘Don’t push it. He wasn’t there for you growing up.’

“After that, I had an interview where shared I was sad, sad I felt that he wasn’t there for me. I got messages from my older siblings who told me they all went through it and it wasn’t peculiar to just me or my sister.”

Romantically Involved With Thin Tall Tony

Thin Tall Tony is a married BBNaija housemate from the second season. Bisola and Thin Tall Tony only met in the house. They were romantically linked to each other for the duration of the show. Thin Tall Tony was already married at the time they met. However, Bisola claims that she only became romantically involved with him because he did not reveal that he was married with two children. The actress discovered the truth at the show’s end and called it quits with him.

Regardless, the former housemate and actress revealed in an interview that she is currently single and not dating anyone. She has decided to keep to herself for a time to achieve the peace of mind she seeks.

Alleged Love Affair With Jeff Akoh

Bisola, like many other celebrities who are frequently involved in one or more romantic scandals, was caught up in a rumor in 2017 that she is dating an upcoming Nigerian singer named Jeff Akoh. The actress was dragged into it because she was older than the singer, who was reportedly 21 while she was 31. The actress took to Twitter to express her love for the singer, stating that age should not hinder their alleged relationship.

After a few hours, she returned with another message, claiming that the previous one was just a joke she wanted to use to gain public attention. People had already started criticizing her for the first tweet before that.

In an attempt to clear the dust that had already been raised, Jeff, on his part, said that Bisola is much older than him, and so could not be in any romantic strings with her.

How my not being a graduate affects me in public

Bisola Aiyeola, an actress and single mother of two, has revealed that her only regret is not having to go through the University’s four walls.

Despite the fact that it is difficult to believe she is uneducated, Bisola Aiyeola revealed that she still feels she is missing out on something.

In a recent chat with Chude Jideonwo, the former project fame, and BBNaija reality show member, Bisola said “Till date, I still fill funny about not going to school, I feel like I missed out on a major part in life cos sometimes in gatherings when people talk about a school experience, I feel left out.

I wish I experienced for myself what it feels like to be in the four walls of the university but I feel good cos I have friends who have 2 or 3 degrees but are feeding today from their talent and skills and not using the degrees to fend for themselves of achieving their dreams.

I am okay talking about it now because God has blessed me, I don’t dwell on it.

I feel blessed for where I am today and if I probably went to school, I will probably not be in the entertainment world today”

Spilling further about being a single mum, Bisola Aiyeola in the interview said “my daughter is a gift, such an understanding child. From a young age, when she wants something I can’t afford and i explain it to her, she understands and doesn’t nag. Up till today, she is now 12, we handle my finances together.
