‘I can’t wait to be a mother’ – Toke Makinwa

Toke Makinwa expresses profound desire to nurture a child


Media personality Toke Makinwa offered a glimpse into her heart as she candidly expressed her eagerness to embrace the journey of motherhood.

The 39-year-old divorcee shared this on Sunday while spending Mother’s Day with her goddaughter on Instagram.

She seemed certain that she would become a mother really soon.

Sharing a photo of herself with her god-daughter, Toke Makinwa wrote:

“I cannot wait to be a Mother, I know it’s in the cards for me and it’ll happen soon. Till then I’ll celebrate my first ever Mother’s Day as your god-mother.”

Recall that in 2015, Toke Makinwa filed for divorce from her ex-husband Maje Ayida after learning that he had impregnated his former lover.

In 2023, the actress revealed that she would not have ended her marriage if she had a child with her ex-husband.

She made this disclosure on her podcast, ‘Toke moments‘ stressing that she holds no judgment for women who stay in toxic marriages for the sake of their children.

The media personality said she would have done the same because she would not want to inflict the trauma of a broken home on her children.

Toke Makinwa said:

“A lot of women stay in unhealthy marriages for the children. For the longest, you hear so many women say things like, ‘the marriage is done but I only stay for my kids. And I’m going to be honest here, if I have had a kid while I was married, I may have been one of those women.”

She mentioned her own trauma of losing her parents when she was just eight years old and how she was always wondering what her life would have been like if they were still alive.

She added that she would not want the children to experience the same pain.

Because I also had the trauma of losing both parents at the age of 8. I mean, I was adopted. I have a great life which I’m thankful for but there were times that I wondered what life could have possibly been like if that didn’t happen. So, for the sake of my children, I may have had to compromise just because I wanted them to have mum and dad. I may have been one of these women. So, I’m not even judging anyone right here” She added.
