Actress Bidemi Kosoko has spoken on struggles and experiences in a recent interview with Biola Bayo on her show, Talk to B.
Bidemi said her husband’s calling as a Shepherd almost led to their divorce as she didn’t see herself as a Pastor’s wife.
She also addressed reports of marrying late, stating she got married at 32, which wasn’t her plan.
“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 shoes,” she stated.
She spoke about losing her mother at 6 and how it affected her while crediting her famous father, Jide Kosoko, for providing parental support.
“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,”she said.
Bidemi also denied claims of reducing her age, stating she’s a devoted mother who prioritises their presence in her life.
“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,” she added.
