Gloria remarked that her husband’s family didn’t pressurise her, but the pressure came from her family.
In her words:
“Nobody in his family did. But I would go to my family gatherings, not asking per se, but imagine you’re walking into the room, and one aunty looks at you, makes sure that you know she’s looking at you. Then her eyes go down to your stomach. And as you walk away, her eyes are still there. What is she telling you? Like, ‘How far, na? E don tey oh! E don pass one, two, three…’ Without saying a word. Oh, I had those kinds of aunties.”
Gloria Young is not the only actress to recall her ordeal with childlessness. Nollywood actress Tiwa Ajisefini also recounted what she went through after welcoming her son.
