According to her, her mother was also a single parent, and the thought of repeating that same path left her feeling ashamed and worried.

“I was scared and ashamed of being pregnant and having a baby out of wedlock,” she said.

At the time, Bisola explained that she had been engaged and believed marriage would naturally follow. However, things did not go as planned.

The reality of raising a child alone began to set in, bringing with it a mix of fear, uncertainty, and self-doubt.

Beyond the emotional weight, Bisola also spoke about the financial challenges she was facing at the time.

She admitted that her family’s economic situation made the idea of having a baby even more overwhelming.

One of the most difficult moments for her, she revealed, was after giving birth.

According to the actress, she struggled to breastfeed her daughter initially because she found it hard to accept her new reality.
