Big Brother Naija star, Phyna, has disclosed that she is hesitant to date a single father due to concerns about the challenges associated with dealing with the child’s mother.
The reality star emphasised that the only circumstance in which she would consider a relationship with a single father is if the mother of his child is married to someone else.
Phyna shared her views during the latest episode of her Spill With Phyna podcast, where she discussed the topic with Tacha.
She expressed reservations about potential “baby mama drama,” highlighting the complexities that may arise, especially when the child’s mother remains actively involved in the man’s life.
She emphasised that she has witnessed situations where the baby mama creates drama and stress for the man.
She said: “I am not sure I can date a guy that has a child. I’ve met like two guys who have children, these are my friends and I’ve seen the drama around it. I’ve seen situations where the baby mama will come and be like ‘who are you now leaving me for? The stress is more than when a girl has a child and it’s more chaotic with guys. Even if the men don’t like you, even if they don’t want to settle down with you, the baby mama just don’t want them to move on.”
She also narrated a specific instance involving a celebrity content creator, highlighting the difficulties the man faced while trying to move on with his life.
Phyna expressed: “These women will trouble you… see, I have okay there’s a particular celebrity in this Nigeria, he’s a content creator he has a baby mama, and this guy is trying to move on but this girl does not want him to. And there is nothing he can do because his child is with the girl and he has to keep communicating with the girl to get to the child. I personally can’t deal with a man that had a child already except if the baby mama has remarried. But if the baby mama is still in the picture, I can’t.”
