Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko has shared intimate details about her personal life, including what it was like to experience early mother loss in an interview on Talk to B Show, saying that it was not easy for her without mom.
During an interview on Talk to B with her colleague Biola Bayo, the actress disclosed that she nearly divorced her husband because of his Shepherding vocation. She claims that her spouse wasn’t a shepherd when they first got married; nonetheless, she doesn’t perceive herself as a pastor’s wife, and this is what nearly caused their marriage to fail.
In response to rumours that she married late, Bidemi said that she didn’t plan to be married till she was 32. She said that although things didn’t turn out the way she had hoped, she had always enjoyed early marriage and had wanted to get married at age 25 or 26 and finish having children at age 32.
She said: “It is not like I married too late. I got married at 32. I have always loved the idea of getting married at 25 and 26, by that 32, I am supposed to be done having kids at 32 then face my life and career. My husband is a shepherd in his church, this has been his calling . I didn’t marry him as a shepherd and this is something that almost broke our marriage because I don’t see myself in that Pastor’s wife shoe”.
Speaking on her mother’s death, Bidemi noted how her mother died at age 6, which affected her as it wasn’t easy growing up without a mother but her famous dad, Jide Kosoko, did all he could to give them both parental support.
She responded: “I lost my mum when I was 6. She died in 1992.
When I started menstruating, I couldn’t tell anybody. I cut pieces of clothes to package myself, not because there was no money to buy the sanitary pad but because I refused to speak out.
If I had a mom, she would have noticed definitely. Of course, it wasn’t easy growing up without a mum but I thank God for the father I have.
My name is Abidemi because my dad wasn’t around when my mum had me. He was in London for a performance or show”.
Bidemi also addressed claims of her reducing her age and expressed how much she loves her kids.
“People always say I am lying about my age especially when my dad wished me a happy birthday and revealed my real age, which left people in doubt.
I love my kids so much and I am the type of lady they call ‘Werey Olomo’. I always want my kids to be around me. So they are my hand bag, we go everywhere together. I stopped traveling because of my children. I can’t leave them alone for a long time”.
