Oh yes! Hours ago, hot celebrity couple, Chris Attoh and Damilola Adegbite, broke the Nigerian twitter sphere
when the cover of 5th edition of the Blanck Digital magazine was
unveiled.
That’s not all.
Peradventure you were one of those that criticized the celebrity
couple, the Attohs, for having a child before
their private marriage which held months ago, then they have got an
answer for you!
In the new edition of the Blanck Magazine, the Attohs who met while on the set of the ‘Tinsel’ series claimed that children are a product of love, not marriage.
On how she handled the backlash of having a child before marriage, Dami said
“We
love our fans and supporters, without whom we won’t be called
celebrities. But here’s the truth; our work is our work and our personal
lives are ours to deal with, hopefully none of the people who love our
work are completely emulating our lives, so I’m hoping that they
can accept and respect what our choices and decisions are. Without
letting that get in the way of how much they appreciate our work.
The
truth is I have my personal life to live. My partner and I have made
decisions based on how we deem fit and I will totally take having a baby
out of wedlock than having an abortion. The baby came at the best time
he was meant to come. We love each other and already had plans of being
together so why not. Thankfully our families and those who their
opinions really mattered were okay with our decisions.
I
recall in a recent article, where the same question was thrown at the
musician Brymo and he said that – children were a product of love and
not marriage and I completely agree. I’m not one to live my life based
on other people’s standards. Fortunately for me, I didn’t get a lot of
heat from people, in fact most people who knew about us were very happy
about everything. The people who knew the journey that we passed through
called it a miracle that we could come this far.

And then she reflected on when she first found out she was pregnant!
“I
remember when I told Chris I was pregnant, he laughed uncontrollably… I
was shocked. He was so happy and that was all that mattered to me at
the time. My family is doing great and I hope that everyone can respect
that. Like the saying goes – whoever wears the shoe, knows where the
shoe pinches (laughing). Bryan is a miracle and was given to us for a
reason we both know. He came at the time we didn’t expect but it was
such a beautiful timing. I wouldn’t trade that feeling for a million
fans.
Some people have asked me if having a
child obligated Chris to marry me and here’s my answer, there are a lot
of baby mamas out there who their baby daddies didn’t marry, so having a
kid for a guy doesn’t guarantee anything. To us, Bryan sealed the deal
for us – his coming made us know that God was leading us to the path we
had always wanted and it would have been foolish for us not to jump on
it. And Bryan brought a lot of change, redirection, focus, organisation
and unity.”
