Nollywood actress Toyosi Adesanya has welcomed her first child through a surrogate mother after battling infertility for a long time.
Biola Adebayo, a close colleague and friend of Adesanya, shared on Instagram the post announcing the birth, revealing that she has been named the child’s godmother.
In 2024, Adesanya opened up about her infertility struggle, recounting undergoing a laparoscopy and two failed IVF attempts in 2009 and 2011.

She explained that she sold her valuables to pay for the procedures, which cost between N900,000 and N1 million at the time.
The actress also shared that she lost three other pregnancies because of different medical problems.
She said: “I got married in 2007, and I was already pregnant during our wedding ceremony.
“Two months after we travelled back to Akure, where my husband stays, I saw blood in my dream and also when I woke up. I told my husband (now ex), and he said I might have lost the pregnancy due to stress.
“Meanwhile, I have not gone to any location; the one I had to go to was still in December 2007, and I already lost the pregnancy in September 2007.
“In 2008, Fathia Balogun encouraged me to try for pregnancy again and introduced me to a woman.
“I went to the woman, she gave me some herbal medications, and I got pregnant again. After a while, I lost the pregnancy.”
