I slept With Married Man Because I Wanted To Get Pregnant And To Be Called A Mother – Dupe Jayesimi
Veteran Yoruba Nollywood actress, Dupe Jayesimi, has opened up about her struggles with infertility and the desperate measures she took in an attempt to conceive.
In a recent interview on Biola Adebayo’s official YouTube channel, the actress revealed that she once had a relationship with a married man solely because she wanted to become a mother.
Jayesimi, who has been in the movie industry for decades, shared her emotional journey, starting with her marriage in 1988. She disclosed that she was pregnant at the time of her wedding but suffered a miscarriage shortly after.
Since then, she struggled to conceive and underwent medical procedures in the hopes of having a child. Doctors recommended surgery, assuring her that it would increase her chances of pregnancy.
However, after the surgery, her marriage took a turn for the worse. Her husband became emotionally distant, disappearing for months without providing any financial support. To her shock, she soon discovered that her husband had impregnated another woman.
The pain of betrayal and childlessness pushed Jayesimi into depression, leading her to turn to alcohol for solace.
Desperate to fulfill her dream of becoming a mother, she entered a relationship with a wealthy man, an Alhaji, who was already married. Eventually, she conceived but suffered severe complications. Medical examinations revealed an ectopic pregnancy, dashing her hopes once again.
In her words; “Few weeks after I left my husband’s house, I discovered that another woman had moved in and was already pregnant for my husband. I was devastated and cried for days.
This emotional pain led me to start drinking alcohol because it helped me sleep. After that, I met an Alhaji who was very supportive. After several attempts, I finally got pregnant again, but I often felt severe pain. A scan later revealed that it was an ectopic pregnancy and it had to be removed. Later, I did everything possible to get pregnant but none worked.
I even had IVF twice but it failed. Unfortunately, Alhaji’s wife started troubling me. Eventually, I ended the relationship and never got pregnant again. I only had an affair with the Alhaji because I wanted to get pregnant and be called a mother. I never intended to marry him.”
