“I Have A Supportive Husband Where I Don’t Feel Like I Have To Do It All By Myself.”- Simi Reflects On Motherhood, Marriage

Nigerian singer-songwriter, Simisola Ogunleye, popularly know as Simi delved into the impact of motherhood on her life and her marriage to fellow artist, Adekunle Gold.

In an interview with CNN’s African Voices, released on Saturday, Simi said that it was a transformative experience becoming a mother.

Simi said, “Yeah, intensely. I remember saying that I felt like the woman that I was the day I gave birth was very different from the woman I was the day before.

“Until you see this human being that you’re now suddenly completely responsible for and you have to make choices about, you don’t really understand the gravity of that situation.”

Simi acknowledged that motherhood has reshaped her in various aspects, stating, “And it has definitely changed my life in so many ways. As a woman, as a person, as an artist, as a friend, as different things, as a wife even.”

While acknowledging the challenges and compromises that come with this new role, she expressed gratitude for her supportive husband, saying, “It definitely helps that I have a supportive husband where I don’t feel like I have to do it all by myself.”

In 2019, Simi married fellow musician Adekunle Gold, and in 2020, the couple welcomed their daughter, Adejare.
