Veteran Nollywood actress Dupe Jaiyesimi has shared her struggles with childlessness, a failed marriage, and career setbacks as she marked her 60th birthday.

Jaiyesimi recalled the heartbreak of losing a long-awaited pregnancy at 40, revealing that doctors discovered the baby was growing outside her womb, leaving her devastated.

“I questioned God, I won’t lie. After so many years of waiting, that pregnancy meant everything to me,” she said.

Beyond personal struggles, she also faced professional turmoil while working at a news media company. Despite caring for many children over the years, she lamented that none had looked back to appreciate or honor her. Attempts to adopt were blocked by her mother, who strongly opposed the idea.

Jaiyesimi also opened up about her painful marriage experience, revealing that after she suffered a miscarriage, her husband distanced himself from her, even using a pillow to separate their bodies in bed. Just two weeks after she moved out, he remarried.

“That experience broke me. I even turned to drinking. After that, I vowed never to marry again,” she revealed.

She further disclosed her struggles with failed IVF attempts, financial instability, and the declining state of the theatre industry.

“I pray I don’t suffer in my old age. It’s been seven years since I last worked. Even when I produce movies, marketers fail me, and I make no money,” she lamented.

Despite her painful experiences, Jaiyesimi remains hopeful, saying, “If there is life, there is hope.”
