The actress who struggled with fertility for some time but welcomed her twin boys in December 2018, also stated that she is already open with every other aspect of her life but will want to protect the children from the public gaze.
In her words:
“Don’t you see my home? Don’t you see my husband? Don’t you see the back of my children? How is that one private? The children’s face is that what you are trying to say? No.
When they are old enough, they should show their faces if they want to. But for now, I don’t want them to show their faces. I want them to have their lives and enjoy it.
Their dad and I are already in the public eye. They are children, don’t forget. They are children. They are vulnerable so you have to just keep them away, keep them safe.
Let them go to school, let them enjoy their lives without “Ah!” that’s Jenifa’s son. That’s JJC’s son. Ah see his leg, see his face” Leave them private!”
The popular Nollywood star and her hubby welcomed their set of twins in December 2018.
