Nigerian actress Toyosi Adesanya has shared her struggles with fertility, revealing that she underwent five surgeries in 2022 in her quest to conceive. In an interview with Oyinmomo TV, Adesanya disclosed that the numerous procedures led her doctor to advise her to stop undergoing further surgeries. Her journey to motherhood was marked by challenges, but she eventually welcomed a baby girl with her husband, Bola Adejobi, in March 2026.

Adesanya expressed gratitude to fellow actress Iyabo Ojo, who stood by her during her struggle to conceive and her crisis in her previous marriage. Ojo reportedly travelled to Akure in 2014 to confront Adesanya's former husband and others who were making life difficult for her. Adesanya defended her loyalty to Ojo, stating that the actress had supported her during challenging moments, making it natural for her to reciprocate the kindness.

The actress recalled Ojo's intervention in her previous marriage, where she called Adesanya's ex-husband and others who were causing her difficulties on Valentine's Day in 2014. Ojo had asked if they wanted to kill Adesanya, demonstrating her commitment to supporting her colleague. Adesanya's decision to celebrate Ojo's grandson's birthday is a testament to their strong bond.

Adesanya and her husband welcomed their first child through surrogacy in March 2026, after years of fertility struggles. Actress Biola Adebayo announced the birth and revealed that the couple's surrogacy journey began in 2024. The couple's journey to parenthood was long and arduous, but they eventually found joy with the arrival of their baby girl.

Adesanya's story highlights the challenges many women face when trying to conceive. Her experience with multiple surgeries and her eventual decision to pursue surrogacy demonstrate the lengths to which women will go to become mothers. Her story also underscores the importance of support systems, like Ojo's, during difficult times.

The actress's journey to motherhood was not without its challenges, but she has expressed gratitude for the support she received from loved ones. Her story serves as a reminder that women's experiences with fertility are unique and often complex. Adesanya's courage in sharing her story may help others who are facing similar challenges.

Adesanya's decision to share her story aims to raise awareness about fertility struggles and the importance of support systems. Her experience serves as a testament to the power of friendship and the resilience of women in the face of adversity. With her new baby, Adesanya begins a new chapter in her life, one marked by joy and fulfillment.
