BBNaija star, Ijeoma Josephina Otabor, popularly known as Phyna, has revealed that she does not plan to have children, stating that she prefers to focus on caring for pets instead.
Speaking during a recent livestream, the reality TV star said she envisions herself as a “cat and dog mom” rather than a parent to children.
“I just want to be a mom, a cat and dog mom,” she said.
Phyna also addressed her ability to have children, noting that while she is fertile, it does not influence her personal decision on motherhood.
“I’m very fertile… but I just don’t want to have a child,” she added.
She further shared her perspective on why some women grow more attached to pets as they get older, particularly after experiencing challenges in romantic relationships.
According to her, many women begin to develop a stronger affection for animals in their 30s, especially if they are not inclined toward settling down.
“I think the love for animals in women kicks in when we’re approaching our 30s… especially when you don’t see yourself settling down,” she explained.
Phyna added that she believes she is currently in that phase of her life, where companionship with pets feels more appealing than raising children, especially after experiencing heartbreak.
