“I would have stayed in my marriage if I had a child” – Toke Makinwa

Toke Makinwa, a popular media personality, says that she would have stayed in her marriage if she had a child with her husband. Maye Ayida.

Toke Makinwa and Maye Ayida split up in 2015 after it was discovered that he was pregnant with his ex-girlfriend.

But, in the most recent episode of her podcast, TokeMoments, the actress admitted that if she had a child, she would have had to compromise.

She said, “A lot of women stay in unhealthy marriages for their children. For the longest, you hear so many women say things like, ‘The marriage is done but I only stay for my kids.’

“And I’m going to be honest here, if I had had a kid while I was married, I may have been one of those women. Because I also had the trauma of losing both parents at the age of 8. I mean, I was adopted. I have a great life which I’m thankful for but there were times that I wondered what life could have possibly been like if that hadn’t happened.

“So, for the sake of my children, I may have had to compromise just because I wanted them to have mum and dad. I may have been one of these women. So, I’m not even judging anyone right here.”
