Nollywood actress Toyosi Adesanya has opened up about her painful pregnancy struggles and her close relationship with colleague Iyabo Ojo. The Yoruba actress revealed that she underwent five surgeries while trying to have a child. She also explained why she continues to stand by Iyabo despite public criticism of their friendship.
Speaking during an interview with Oyinmomo TV, Toyosi defended her bond with Iyabo. She recalled how the actress supported her during a difficult period in her previous marriage. According to Toyosi, Iyabo travelled to Akure to confront people who allegedly made her life difficult. She also recalled a phone call Iyabo made to her ex-husband on Valentine’s Day in 2014.
Toyosi shared an emotional account of Iyabo’s support during that challenging period. She said,
“Iyabo who came to take care of my kids, Iyabo who came to Akure to fight for me in my previous marriage.”
She added that Iyabo contacted her ex-husband and confronted those involved in her struggles.
“She asked if they wanted to kill me,” Toyosi recalled.
Toyosi questioned why she should not support Iyabo in return, especially during her grandson’s birthday celebration. Toyosi also made it clear that she would not allow bloggers to exploit her painful experiences for engagement.
Beyond her friendship with Iyabo, Toyosi opened up about her difficult journey to motherhood. She revealed that she underwent five surgeries in 2022 while trying to give birth, but none succeeded. The repeated procedures took a toll on her, and even her doctor advised her to stop.
“In 2022, I did five surgeries. I did so many surgeries my doctor told me, ‘Enough of this,’” she said.
Her revelation highlights the emotional and physical challenges she faced while hoping to become a mother.
