Actress Nse Ikpe-Etim has revealed that she felt inadequate as a woman when she found out she could not bear children of her own.
Nse disclosed this in an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo published on Sunday.
Nse said: “Finding out I couldn’t have children didn’t make me feel ashamed. I felt inadequate.
“I felt inadequate as a woman but not ashamed, which was because of how I was brought up.
“Where I’m from we don’t tie shame to ourselves. Where I was brought up, we live through life fully.”
When asked if she was open to adoption, Nse said: “You never say never, but right now, my husband and I are just dog parents.
The 47-year-old actress, during the interview, disclosed she had to undergo hysterectomy (removal of the uterus) after she was diagnosed with adenomyosis.
Nse Ikpe-Etim and her husband Clifford Sule got married on February 14, 2013, at a Lagos registry.
A traditional wedding ceremony followed in her hometown in Akwa Ibom State.
