In November, Eke stated that she wouldn’t mind having children out of wedlock.
The Big Brother Naija Season 4 winner stated in a recent podcast interview that even though she is not looking forward to having a child, she would keep it if she got pregnant before getting married.
Eke stated that she was confident that becoming pregnant outside of marriage would not have an impact on her, as the stigma associated with single mothers is limited to low-income women.
“I won’t go the extra miles to get pregnant out of wedlock. But if it just happens, I would leave it and I would have my baby. I want three kids; two girls and one boy or three girls. I love female children.
“Even if don’t get married, I would still have kids. What most people don’t know is that the stigma of being a single mother only applies to women who don’t have things going well for them.
“The women [single mothers] that are shattering glasses, men are begging them for marriage. I can get married tomorrow if I want to. But what I want in a man, I have not seen it. It’s not like there is no suitor. There are plenty… So, even if I have a baby, I would still see a man,” she expressed.
