Nollywood actress Oluwakemisola Apesin, popularly known as Kemity, has opened up about the life circumstances that led to her having two children from two different men.
The actress whose stage name, Kemity was derived from her real name Oluwakemisola Apesin and that of her children, while speaking in an episode of Talk to B hosted by actress Biola Adebayo, disclosed that her first child came after she got pregnant for the man who disvirgined her.
She added that he later died under tragic circumstances. According to the mother of two, the pregnancy happened while she was still preparing for her WAEC exams but was unable to marry the father of her child at the time because her mother insisted she prioritise education.
She chose catering and eventually began teaching to support herself and her child, adding that people often criticise her without knowing her story.
She said, “I have two children for two different fathers. The person I gave birth to my first child for was the one who disvirgined me and that was how I got pregnant. I was about to write my WAEC at the time. My mum loved education, so she insisted that all her children must be educated.
“She agreed that once I had furthered my education a bit, I could get married to him. My mum also asked me to learn a trade and I learnt catering. I and my baby daddy still kept contact but he later traveled to Malaysia.
“When he got back to Nigeria, he was killed in a hotel. He spent four years abroad and when he came back, he did not inform anybody, even I was not aware. It was someone who called my mum to inform her about his arrival. It was obvious that he was robbed and that was how I became a widow.
“Many people come online saying how can I have two children for two different fathers, they do not even know my story. Nobody prays to have children for different fathers. That is why I tell people that I am a widow and it was not because I was divorced.”
Addressing her second relationship which led to to the birth of her child, the actress said it ended due to infidelity despite the couple getting married legally.“
She said, “We had a court wedding. When the issue of extramarital affairs came up, I was already living with him. When I gave birth, he was working in a fuel station, while I took up a teaching job.
“When I was done with the day job, I did extra lessons too. I started noticing that he was acting strangely, he was no longer loving. He would be on long midnight calls claiming he was talking to his boss but I knew it a woman.
“You know we all have our limits and when I got to mine, I told him.”
