“Inside Miss SA pageant Chidimma Adetshina’s traditional wedding,” says the news channel.
Adetshina confirms to Sowetan that she recently got divorced and is a mother to a one-year-old baby boy.
“I got divorced in February. We were not compatible because he had this ideology of what an African married woman is. I didn’t want to be in a position where I can’t go out, but had to clean, cook. That was just not for me because as a society, we are way past that phase,” she said.
“My parents have been very supportive and although my marriage robbed me from enjoying the beauty of pregnancy and being a wife. Overall, it brings me joy that I get to take new steps with my son. “
She also reveals that she didn’t think she’d be a mom at her age as her son was conceived out of wedlock.
Briefly reports that the 23-year-old model married and divorced her Nigerian husband within a year.
