Speaking on a recent episode of the reality TV series "Young, Famous & African," the 42-year-old star reflected on her fertility struggles and how they shaped her life.
Edo revealed that she got married at 26, hoping to complete her family by the age of 31. However, her plans took a difficult turn as she faced persistent fertility issues during her marriage.
Despite the challenges, Edo remained determined to become a mother. "My journey is one that I have not really wanted to talk about because it is personal. I went through surrogacy. I never thought I would have fertility issues," she said.
"But I have had trouble carrying pregnancies for a long time. It seemed like it wasn't going to happen the way I wanted it to. So, this option came, and I took it."
Edo shared that she chose surrogacy in 2021 to achieve her dream of motherhood, a decision she initially hesitated to make public. Edo was previously married to Philip Ehiagwina, a US-based businessman, in 2008, but the marriage ended in divorce in 2014.
