Adunni Ade Opens Up On Getting Pregnant Out Of Wedlock And How Her Father Reacted

 

Nollywood actress Adunni Ade has taken to her social media to recount 

how her father reacted when she got pregnant outside wedlock years ago.

The 39-year-old in a lengthy post on Instagram disclosed that she went through a lot when she found out that she was pregnant with her first child.

She also added that when her father found that she was pregnant, he caught off her financial support as he was disappointed that his first daughter got pregnant out of wedlock.

“These past few days have been overwhelming! I remember when I found out I was pregnant with D’marion, it felt like the world came caving in on me. A whole lot happened to me. My Dad was so hurt that his first daughter was pregnant (out of wedlock, I understood ).

“I was a senior at college. It was the worst time of my life. All financial support was cut off! I was ill. My mom did all she could to stand by me. I felt as though I had failed in life as my Hero was disappointed in me. I began facing so many challenges in life. My heart was so fragile I thought I’d never make it through because of how terrible my life had become,” she wrote in part.

The actress further revealed that she got pregnant again after four years and was upset about going through a similar pain she had experienced.

Adunni Ade, however, said she is grateful for her children D’marion and Ayden for giving her a reason to live again.

She wrote: “Fast forward 4 years later, Ayden comes along. I recall being so upset! I got to go through the hurt, the pain all over! Damn! But this time around I was more determined! More focused on being successful for my 2 Lil princes. Ayden brought a different vibe to life, to live my life unapologetically.

“When I tell you my boys are my world, I mean it with every fibre of my existence. I’m nowhere near my goals in life but I tell you something! Things have changed! I get asked a lot how I do it, I simply answer “I just do it!” I recall working 2-3 jobs just to make ends meet. Leave out 4:30 am back after midnight. This consistent hard work is years of labor! These 2 miracles of mine have given me a chance to live again! My drive! My focus! All I have done! All I am! All for my Boys. Thank you D’marion Thank you Ayden for giving me a reason to live again,”

'The narrative God wants is to see that we can be redeemed in all these relationships,' he said. 'We've made mistakes. I've made mistakes.

But right now today, for whatever reason — I didn't know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I'm here to change the narrative.

'I have to be next to my children as much as possible. So, when I'm out the house, I've got a house right next to the house. I'm doing everything to be right next to the situation,' he said.

Realizing he was off on a tangent, he said: 'I’m trying to express this in the most sane way, the most calm way possible, but I need to be back home. '

He added: 'If the enemy can separate Kimye, there’s going to be millions of families that feel like that separation is ok … but when God brings Kimye together, there’s going to be millions of families that are going to be influenced to see that they can overcome the work of the separation, of trauma the devil has used to capitalize to keep people in misery while people step over homeless people to go to the Gucci store.'

'We've made mistakes. I've made mistakes,' he said. 'I've publicly done things that were not acceptable as a husband. But right now today, for whatever reason — I didn't know I was going to be in front of this mic — but I'm here to change the narrative'

Adele's '30' was the top selling album in the US after three days.

The 'Easy On Me' singer, 33, has broken the record held by Taylor Swift's 'evermore' – which sold 462,000 copies in the first week – by selling more than 500,000 copies of her new LP in the first few days of release.

According to Billboard, stats from MRC Data revealed the new album – which contains songs such as 'I Drink Wine' and 'My Little Love' – takes the title of this year's biggest individual week of sales, beating the record set by Taylor's re-released version of 'Red', 'Red (Taylor's Version)', which dropped on 12 November and sold 396,000 copies by the week ending November 18.

When taking into account streaming figures, the total volume of Adele's new album sold has hit more than 575,000 copies, according to the first drop of numbers, and the figure will be confirmed on Thursday (25.11.21).

It is expected to hit number one on the Billboard chart – when it is announced on December 4 – and would therefore become the hitmaker's third album to do so Stateside, after 2015's '25' and 2011's '21'.

Adele's promotion of her album has led her to do two television specials – one on CBS, which featured a performance and a heartfelt interview with Oprah Winfrey, airing on November 14 in the US, and another on ITV in the UK, with the star answering questions from the star-studded crowd.

The latter, titled 'An Audience with Adele', featured a host of famous faces in the audience, such as her good pal and comedian Alan Carr.
