Osas Ighodaro for Genevieve Magazine
The mum to be, excited about her pregnancy, tells Genevieve magazine how she and model husband, Gbenro Ajibade didn’t plan it.
According to her, “This pregnancy wasn’t planned at all. As newlyweds we just wanted to enjoy our marriage before thinking about having kids but life happens. Interestingly, Gbenro figured it out before I did. I wasn’t feeling well and he told me he was going to get me some orange juicee. On returning he handed me a pregnancy test kit. I took the test and came downstairs to tell him the result. We stared at each other for what felt like forever and I said the words “We are pregnant”. We embraced for a long time and seeing my husband who is a true alpha African man in that state of emotion was such a beautiful moment.
This pregnancy has brought out a new side of Gbenro who is usually very calm. Seeing him so excited when he rubs and listens to my belly is the most beautiful thing in the world.
I now call him Papa G and he always smiles when I call him that. Infact, I want 10 kids but Gbenro says I am on my own.”
She also revealed what she does to protect her unborn child. She said, “Losing a child is not easy on any parent so I understand why she is being protective. She even shared with me some Benin superstitions like putting a pin on my clothes to ward off evil and never telling anyone how far gone I am in my pregnancy and I am following her instructions to the letter. We know the culture we are in. Let’s be real, there are bad belle people out there so to protect this blessing we are going to enjoy this moment privately.”
Osas and Gbenro Ajibade had their white wedding on July 4, 2015 during USA’s Independence Day in New York.
