Genevieve Nnaji Talks About How She Got Pregnant

Out Of Wedlock

Nollywood actress, Genevieve Nnaji managed to keep

her daughter' s birth a secret possibly because she

thought it would affect her career. However, she later

came out about it in an interview where she bared it all

without holding back any. 

Genevieve Nnaji in the interview, recounted how her

world came crashing down when she realized sheis

pregnant at 17 years of age.

She revealed she was already seven months gone

before her Catholic mum discovered it and didn' t

believe it until she later confirmed it. The actress

however, noted that she didn' t believe it as well but

had to when she saw it in a scan.

She further noted that she was hard on herself more

than her parents did but at the end, she couldn' t abort

the pregnancy since she got to know about it late.

In her words:

"The pregnancy was seven months gone before my

Catholic mum discovered it. She couldn' t believe it,

she said. How can she be pregnant when she was"

very careful"

"I didn' t feel anything. I didn' t even know till I was

about four months. It was there, but I was still in

shock. I didn' t believe it".

"The only time I actually believed it was when I saw it

in a scan. Seven months! And I saw it' s in there andl

said, "Okay, it' s true! "I was like, " Oh, it's like somne

disease. "I think I was pretty much hard on myself

then than my parents or people. I was harder on

myself, really. My parents reacted the way any parent

would react- disappointed.

I didn' t know. My mother discovered it for me. I didn' t

know anything really. She discovered it for me and it

was too late, we couldn' t do anything and we' re

Catholics and ' m glad I didn' t do anything funny

really

Speaking further, she said: " Getting rid of the

pregnancy was an alternative then, but it was too late,

because not until I was four months before we

discovered it and so it was not what we could do, and

my dad was like, it' s a child for Christ' s sake. God

knows why he wants to bring that child into life".

We are Catholics and it' s just that conscience, you do

wrong once and doing another would not make the

first right. So, you either correct your mistake by doing

the right thing. If I was pregnant, and then have an

abortion, it would have been like murder after

fornication! So, that was basically wrong.

event saw lots of pictures of the newly wedded
