Adunni Ade Talks On The Approach She Uses To Balance Her Demanding Career With Her Parenting Responsibilities
Nollywood actress, Adunni Ade has shared an insights on how she juggles her life as a single parent and pursuing her professional ambitions.
In a recent interview with Hip TV Trending, the single mum highlighted the need for balance, noting that she places her children’s needs ahead of her professional goals.
The mother of two explained,
“Balancing your life is something you have to do as a parent, there is no thinking. You have to be able to provide and cater to your children as a parent no matter what industry you find yourself. Whether you’re a doctor or an actor or an architect…you just have to find that balance.”
She stressed that while her career is important to her, her children always take precedence over it. According to her, she carefully schedules projects to ensure she attends significant school events and that she is present for her kids.
In her words:
“My kids will always come first so I’m very careful with how I schedule projects. I do not miss anything that has to do with their schooling; if it’s an open day, visiting day, a program or even inter-house sports, I will be there.
My kids will always have that attention from me to be present and when it comes to work, work will attend to itself.”

Offering advice to struggling parents, the movie star suggested considering boarding school or relying on trusted family members or individuals for short-term support.
She cautioned against neglecting children’s needs, emphasising the importance of being present and attentive.
“I took my kids to boarding school, that’s something you can consider or have good really family members or trusted persons that can be there for the short time you’re away for work, but never neglect your kids”,
she added.
