Bidemi Kosoko has revealed some details about her life during an interview with her colleague, Biola Bayo.
The actress shared how difficult it was growing up without a mother.
Bidemi Kosoko talked about a tough period that challenged her five-year marriage.
Bidemi Kosoko, a Nollywood actress and the daughter of veteran actor Prince Jide Kosoko, has shared details about her life.
As a mother of three, she spoke openly about the challenges of losing her mother when she was young and how it affected her parenting.
She also discussed how her husband’s role as a pastor nearly led to their separation during an interview with her colleague Biola Bayo on the Talk to B podcast.
Bidemi Kosoko shared that when she first met her husband, he was not a shepherd until God called him. She mentioned that she never imagined being a pastor’s wife, which made it hard for her to adjust to this new situation, causing issues in their marriage.
Regarding the rumors about her marrying late, Bidemi clarified that she tied the knot at 32, which was not her original plan.
She admitted that she always wanted to marry young, aiming for 25 or 26, and hoped to have her last child by 32, but life took a different path.
In Bidemi Kosoko’s words:
“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 was 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 shoe”.
Reflecting on her mother’s passing, Bidemi shared that her mom died when she was only 6. It was hard for her to grow up without a mother, but her famous dad, Jide Kosoko, worked hard to fill both roles in her life. She added:
“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 things I was supposed to use 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”.
Bidemi talked about the rumours of her reducing her age and shared her deep love for her children. She mentioned:
“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”.
