Toyin Abraham Talks About The Impact Of Marriage & Motherhood On Her Well Being
Celebrity Mum, Toyin Abraham has had it rocky in the past when it comes to relationships, but her current marriage and the blessings of motherhood seems to have lent her a breath of fresh air.
In a chat with Vanguard Allure, the filmmaker whose son, Ire, will be turning one in a few weeks said motherhood has shaped her and remolded her outlook on life.
The mum-of-one during the interview revealed that ahead of motherhood, her husband, Kolawole, had already helped her become a better person and that motherhood helped her to consolidate on those changes.
In her words:
I actually recorded everything because I had a caesarean section. I was given an injection that numbed my back.
I know I was having an operation but didn’t feel it, I was just talking. I remembered the moment they brought my baby out, my husband saw him and fainted.
It was a sweet experience. It wasn’t easy but we thank God.
Motherhood has really changed a lot about me. Even before I had my baby, my husband had already changed me. Motherhood is like icing on the cake.
It has really changed my mentality, my thinking; in fact it has changed everything about me. Now I know I am living for someone. I am living for something.”
Speaking further on how the Covid-19 has affected her and her income, she said
“It’s not easy, trust me. I can’t even work. You know it’s easy for older children to say ‘mummy, I have a headache’ but for a baby, she cannot tell you how she is feeling.
As for work, it’s just my husband who has been working for now. But when I have shoots and some endorsements, I go.
When I do, I go with my thermometer and hand sanitizer. Once I get home, I quickly take my shoes off and wash my hands. I must confess it hasn’t been easy at all.
