Funke Akindele’s Unnatural Journey To motherhood
Funke Akindele, a Nigerian actress and producer, became a mother in 2018 through the process of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF). She had faced challenges with conception and had kept her struggle with infertility private. After her marriage to JJC Skillz (Abdulrasheed Bello), a musician, she revealed in 2017 that they were expecting twins.
However, in late 2017, she posted on social media that she had given birth to twins, a boy and a girl named Tamara and Jaden, which surprised many as her pregnancy had not been publicly visible.It was later clarified that Funke Akindele and her husband had used IVF to carry and deliver the twins.
The decision to use surrogacy was likely a deeply personal one, driven by their desire to become parents and the challenges they faced with conception.
Funke Akindele and JJC Skillz have since embraced parenthood and shared their joy with fans and followers on social media.
