Actress Dupe Jayesimi Opens Up About Childlessness at 60: A Heartfelt Journey
Veteran Nollywood actress Dupe Jaiyesimi recently opened up about her struggles with childlessness, a failed marriage, and career setbacks as she marked her 60th birthday.
In an emotional interview on Biola Adebayo’s podcast, “Talk to B,” Jaiyesimi expressed her deep sadness over not having children to celebrate her milestone birthday. She recounted the heartbreak of losing a long-awaited pregnancy at the age of 40 due to an ectopic pregnancy, which led her to question her faith.
The loss of her pregnancy strained her marriage, eventually leading to its dissolution. Her husband distanced himself after the miscarriage and remarried shortly after she moved out. Despite caring for many children over the years, she lamented that none looked back to appreciate her. Attempts to adopt were also thwarted by her mother, who firmly opposed the idea.
Jaiyesimi also faced professional challenges, including failed IVF attempts, financial instability, and the declining state of the theatre industry. Despite these hardships, she remains hopeful, stating, “If there is life, there is hope.”
Her story has sparked an outpouring of sympathy and support from fans, who have taken to social media to offer words of comfort and encouragement. Many have praised her for her bravery in sharing her story and have expressed admiration for her resilience and strength.
