Veteran Nollywood actress, Dupe Jayesimi, has opened up about the emotional pain of being childless at 60.

In a heartfelt interview on the Talk to B podcast, Jayesimi shared her experience of navigating life without a child.

Reflecting on her marital journey, the renowned Yoruba actress revealed that she suffered a miscarriage after her wedding in 1988.

“Nobody celebrated me on my 60th birthday. I know how children celebrate their parents. But I have none to celebrate me or throw a party for me. On the day of my birthday, I gave someone money to prepare food and shared it for people in my name, and I left the house to cry myself out in an hotel for some days.

“I got married on October 22 1988. As at then I was not fully into acting, and my husband’s nature of job is two weeks on two weeks off. We were seeking the face of God for children, although I was pregnant before our marriage but I experienced miscarriage a few weeks after our wedding.

“After a series of medical tests, they said they will open my body for me to get pregnant. I informed my husband and he told me to go ahead, and when I was open, he disappeared for 3 months, and when he returned, he said I should pack my things and leave. My husband started to distance himself, and demarcated our bed with pillows.

“My husband married another woman two weeks after I left him, the woman was already pregnant for him outside”.
