The actress, admitted she had second thoughts about getting married in the first place.

While speaking with Chude Jideonwo, the actress said she got married in the first place because of “family pressure.”
She said: “I regretted my decision to get married because it wasn’t just the right move to make.”
The thespian, however, said she would get married again “if the right person comes.”
She also talked about why she opted for surrogacy, revealing that she chose that route due to the many miscarriages she passed through.
“I chose surrogacy because I had a couple of miscarriages. And I just got tired of trying.
“I don’t have a husband. So, I’m like, I want a child for myself, whether I have a husband or not. So, what other options would I have? And I wanted it to be my child. My eggs. Thankfully, my eggs are good. So I did that.”
In 2021, Ini Edo announced the arrival of her first child, a girl through surrogacy.
