Tiwa Savage has revealed she froze her eggs. She made the disclosure in a wide-ranging interview with ZeZe Mills.
She told the host she took the step as a form of backup.
“Having my first child in my 30s was beautiful because I was more financially and emotionally stable. One advice I will give to women in their 30s is – whether you wanna have children or not, egg freeze.
“I wish I did it earlier. But I’ve done it now. I don’t know if I want more kids but in case I do, I’ve done that [frozen my eggs] just that have that insurance. Because I don’t know if we are born with a certain amount of egg reserves, you could wake up at 36 and your egg reserve is done.
“And then that’s when you now decide that you want to have kids. So, I’m really a big advocate for egg freezing now,” she said.
Her son Jamil was born in 2015. He’s now 10. That means Tiwa was 35 at the time, and she says motherhood in her 30s suited her.
Egg freezing: what it involves and why people choose it
Egg freezing (oocyte cryopreservation) collects and freezes unfertilised eggs.
Women undergo hormone injections to stimulate the ovaries before eggs are retrieved.
The eggs are stored and may be used later in fertility treatment. Success rates vary by age and the number of eggs frozen.
The procedure can be expensive and may need more than one cycle. It is not a guarantee, but many call it a form of reproductive insurance.
