Big Brother Naija Season 10/10 housemate, Opeyemi Ayanwale, popularly known as Imisi, has opened up about a deeply emotional and tragic chapter from her past, revealing that she lost her child at just four months old due to the overwhelming mental and emotional strain caused by a toxic relationship.
The 23-year-old reality TV star made the heartbreaking revelation during a heartfelt conversation with fellow housemates on Saturday night. The candid moment offered viewers a glimpse into the difficult personal battles she faced before entering the BBNaija house.
“I lost my child at 4 months because the relationship became toxic. I was always crying and dealing with mental stress,” Imisi confessed, her voice filled with emotion as she spoke about the toll the situation had taken on her mental and physical health.
According to Imisi, the relationship, which she initially believed to be meaningful and supportive, slowly deteriorated and became emotionally damaging. She shared how the frequent arguments, lack of peace, and emotional manipulation affected her daily life, and more critically, her pregnancy.
She explained that the constant stress, anxiety, and emotional breakdowns during the early stages of pregnancy contributed significantly to the complications that led to her devastating loss.
“I was in a space where I was always hurting, always crying. I didn’t feel loved anymore. The mental stress was too much, and I believe it played a role in losing my baby,” she added as housemates comforted her during the emotional disclosure.
Imisi, who has quickly become one of the standout figures in this year’s edition of the reality show due to her authenticity and openness, also revealed that she is currently single and still on a path of emotional recovery following a more recent breakup.
Her vulnerability sparked emotional reactions among both housemates and viewers, with many praising her courage to speak out and use her platform to address sensitive issues such as toxic relationships, mental health, and pregnancy loss — topics often considered taboo in many societies.
The story has since resonated widely across social media, with fans and mental health advocates commending her bravery and urging others to prioritize emotional well-being, especially during pregnancy.
