Veteran Actress Dupe Jaiyesimi Opens Up About Childlessness, Failed Marriage, and Career Struggles

As she marked her 60th birthday, veteran actress Dupe Jaiyesimi has shared the emotional journey of her life, including struggles with childlessness, a failed marriage, and career setbacks.

In a heartfelt interview, Jaiyesimi recalled the pain of losing a long-awaited pregnancy at age 40. Doctors discovered the baby was growing outside her womb, leaving her devastated.

"I questioned God, I won’t lie. After so many years, that pregnancy meant everything to me," she admitted.

Beyond personal struggles, she faced career turmoil while working in the media industry. At one point, she and her colleagues had to evade arrests due to controversial reports.

Despite caring for many children over the years, she lamented that none showed appreciation. Even her attempts to adopt were blocked by her mother, who strongly opposed the idea.

Jaiyesimi also opened up about her painful marriage experience. After her miscarriage, her husband distanced himself from her, even using a pillow to separate their bodies in bed. Just two weeks after she moved out, he remarried.

"That experience broke me. I even turned to drinking. After that, I vowed never to marry again," she revealed
