Big Brother Naija Level Up winner Ijeoma Otabor, better known as Phyna, has revealed her plans.
While speaking on her podcast, she disclosed that her goal for the year and early next year is to focus on making money to have her first child.
Phyna clarified that she isn’t getting pregnant herself but hiring a surrogate to carry her child. The reality star noted how she said she only wanted to be a cat and dog mom, but has changed her mind.
“My goal for the rest of the year and early next year is, I just want to focus on making money to have my first child. When I mean having my first child, I am not getting pregnant myself. No way, I am having my child through surrogacy. You know, I said I wanted to be a cat and dog mom, I have changed my mind again”.
In a previous episode on her podcast, she admitted that she sometimes wishes she were a man due to the pressures and stigmatisation women face. She believes life appears more straightforward for men than women, especially when it comes to expectations around success and ambition.
When her colleague, Emmanuel Umoh, announced his wedding, Phyna reflected on the eligibility of female BBN graduates to marry. She noted how the males are the ones getting married because they are less prone to slander from the media.
Last year, Phyna revealed the result of choosing herself. She revealed that she stopped searching for love in places that had broken her and found life blooming the moment she chose herself. She added that somewhere between loss and silence, she found the true worth of life, not in riches or noise, but in breath, grace, and being.
In 2024, the reality star sparked dating rumours with a captivating photo featuring herself and a mystery man, whom she kept his identity under wraps. Netizens couldn’t help but notice a resemblance between the man’s dreadlocks and singer Kaid, prompting widespread speculation that he might be the mystery man in question.
During the news of Kenyan athlete Rebecca Cheptegei’s death, Phyna recalled how she moved on from her toxic boyfriend.
In an interview, the Level Up Winner stated that Edo men are notorious for dating women for years without marrying them. The reality star used herself as a case study, revealing that she dated an Edo man for 12 years and advising her gënder not to waste years on a man.
In an Instagram live session, the reality star revealed why she would love to marry a man like rapper and singer, Shallipopi. Explaining why, she added that she can’t date an Igbo man and would prefer to date an Edo or a Yoruba man.
Recall that Phyna was in a relationship with cohousemate, Groovy while in the BBN house. The lovebirds didn’t last long as they broke up months after leaving the show.
