“I Never Believed That I Can Be A Pastor Wife, And My Husband Calling As A Shepherd In His Church Almost Broke Our Marriage”‘ Bidemi Kosoko Spill On Her Husband Career

Nollywood actress Sola Kosoko revealed on the Talk2B show that growing up without her mother was not easy.

Yoruba Nollywood actress Bidemi Kosoko shared intimate details about her personal life, including the experience of losing her mother at an early age.

In an interview with her colleague Biola Bayo on her show, Talk2B, Bidemi revealed how her husband’s calling as a shepherd almost led to their divorce. She explained that when they met, her husband was not a shepherd, but after God called him, she struggled with the idea of being a pastor’s wife, which nearly caused a rift in their marriage.

Addressing reports about her late marriage, Bidemi revealed that she got married at the age of 32, which wasn’t her original plan. She had always wanted to marry early, ideally at 25 or 26, and complete her family by 32. However, things didn’t go as she had envisioned.

“It is not like I married too late. I got married at 32. I have always loved the idea of getting married at 25 and 26, by that 32, I am supposed to be done having kids at 32 then face my life and career. My husband is a shepherd in his church, this has been his calling . I didn’t marry him as a shepherd and this is something that almost broke our marriage because I don’t see myself in that Pastor’s wife shoe”.

Speaking on her mother’s death, Bidemi noted how her mother died at age 6, which affected her as it wasn’t easy growing up without a mother but her famous dad, Jide Kosoko, did all he could to give them both parental support.

“I lost my mum when I was 6. She died in 1992.

When I started menstruating, I couldn’t tell anybody. I cut pieces of clothes to package myself, not because there was no money to buy the sanitary pad but because I refused to speak out.

If I had a mom, she would have noticed definitely. Of course, it wasn’t easy growing up without a mum but I thank God for the father I have.

My name is Abidemi because my dad wasn’t around when my mum had me. He was in London for a performance or show”.

Bidemi also addressed claims of her reducing her age and expressed how much she loves her kids.

“People always say I am lying about my age especially when my dad wished me a happy birthday and revealed my real age, which left people in doubt.

I love my kids so much and I am the type of lady they call ‘Werey Olomo’. I always want my kids to be around me. So they are my hand bag, we go everywhere together. I stopped traveling because of my children. I can’t leave them alone for a long time”.
