Here are eleven Nigerian female celebrities who have been making do with being single parents even as they continue to combine the motherly role with their demanding careers
Genevieve Nnaji
At 37, Genny is one of Nigeria’s most sought after single mothers
She’s hot … and we mean smoking hot and unarguably one of the most celebrated actresses in Africa, with her being the face of so many brands. For years, Nnaji has managed to conceal the identity of her daughter, a child she had when she was just a teenager in secondary school.
Genny’s daughter has grown into a beautiful young lady, whom she often describes as her ‘best friend and companion’.
Kate Henshaw
Even at 45, Kate Henshaw is still as hot.
The talented Nollywood actress separated from her British husband, Roderick James Nuttal in 2011, after being married for 12 years. The union produced a daughter named Gabrielle.
Though the teenager is in Kate’s custody, she rarely talks about her; probably to keep her away from the public eye. Henshaw is still a hot mama and many often wonder how she manages to stay trim.
Bisi Ibidapo Obe
Even with the paternity controversy which involved her and a former lawmaker, Dino Melaye, the pretty actress is still one of the hottest single mothers in the country.
Doris Simeon
A look at this sexy actress and one begins to wonder, why would a man leave such a pretty woman? Doris Simeon, who was married to movie director Daniel Ademinokan, is a single parent in charge of the relationship’s nine-year old son.
Well, she doesn’t seem to be worried about the breakup as she once explained; ‘My son is also a man. He is my boyfriend.’
Fathia Balogun
The ever-beautiful actress is a proud mother of two girls and a boy. She separated from her husband, Saidi Balogun in 2006. Following their divorce, Saidi had revealed that only two of the children were his as one belonged to Fatha’s former husband, who she divorced before marrying him.
Waje
The talented Nigerian singer gave birth to her daughter 17 years ago. Waje catapulted her way to limelight after she featured in P-Square’s hit song, ‘Do Me’. She is still one of the ladies Nigerian artistes look out for!
Iyabo Ojo
Although linked to several men, the actress – who has a fetish for tattoos – has been single for a very long time. The 38-year-old actress got married far back in 1999 as a result of being pregnant from a six-month relationship. Although the marriage ended, Iyabo is glad she can count her blessings with her kids.
Liz Anjorin
Perhaps one of the sexiest Yoruba actresses, Liz charms on and off the red carpet. The mother of one has definitely got the sex appeal and enjoys the admiration of many of her male fans, but may be single for a while longer as she says, ‘I will not lie. I cannot marry ‘e go better‘.
Grace Amah
The Nollywood actress welcomed a baby boy some years ago and has kept the identity of her son’s father as a mystery.
For critics who think it’s wrong to have a child out of wedlock, do not disturb Grace
Toyin Lawani
Toyin Lawani and 23-year-old boyfriend
We all know the CEO of Tiannah Styling, Toyin Lawani as being all up in our face for her skills as a celebrity stylist.
Lawani is still enjoying the last days of her singlehood as she might hopefully get married to her 23-year old boyfriend, Lord Trigg with who she has a son.
Anna Ebiere
The ex-MBGN beauty is currently a single mother after she called off her relationship with popular highlife sensation, Flavour.
Anna and Flavour welcomed their baby daughter in August 2015. With that said, Anna is currently single and a ‘hot’ single mama at that.
