Yoruba Nollywood actor and producer, Temitope Omosowon, recently opened up about a deeply personal chapter of his early romantic life during an interview on the Talk to B Podcast hosted by Biola Adebayo.
The actor recounted how his first serious relationship was with a single mother of three children, a woman he described as kind-hearted and loving. Despite the strong emotional bond they shared, the relationship faced intense opposition from his mother, ultimately leading to their breakup.
According to Omosowon, the relationship began when he was still starting out in life. Although he was in love and willing to make the relationship work, his mother objected to the idea of her son marrying a single mother, believing it would complicate his future.
In an effort to maintain peace, Omosowon asked his girlfriend to keep her children away from his mother.
However, things took a turn when his mother and girlfriend engaged in what was initially an innocent conversation about raising children.
During the discussion, the woman revealed personal details about a stillbirth she had previously experienced. This revelation, according to Omosowon, caused his mother to develop a strong dislike for her.
Family pressure soon mounted on both sides, making the relationship increasingly difficult to sustain. His girlfriend faced objections from her own mother as well, further straining their bond. Eventually, Omosowon ended the relationship under the weight of this dual opposition.
He said: “The first woman I was involved with was a single mother with three kids. She was a good woman, and I loved her very much. But my mother didn’t want us to marry a single mother since we were just starting out in life. So, I told her to keep her kids away from my mother. One day, my mother was talking to her about raising children and sharing personal experiences. She unknowingly opened up to my mother, even talking about a stillbirth she once had. From that day, my mother disliked her and asked her to leave my house. Due to pressure from both her mother and mine, we had to break up. During our breakup, she laid a curse on me. She said that because my mother stopped her from marrying me, the woman I would eventually marry would have more children than she ever did. To tell you the truth, the woman who gave birth to my first child has already given birth to eight children. My child is the ninth.”
