Phyna opens up on choosing pets over kids, says she has no desire for biological children

Reality TV star Phyna has opened up about her personal choice regarding motherhood, revealing that she has no desire to have biological children.

According to her, she would rather focus on raising pets, noting that her current mindset is shaped by her life experiences and views on relationships.

“I’m very fertile, but I don’t have any desire to have a biological child. I just wanna be a cat and dog mum,” she said.

She went on to explain that some women begin to develop a stronger attachment to pets as they grow older, especially after going through difficult relationship experiences.

The former BBNaija winner noted that these experiences can shape how women view love and commitment, making them more inclined to seek peace and fulfillment in other ways.

“I think the love for animals in women kicks in when we’re approaching our 30s, some of them in their mid-30s, late 30s, especially when you don’t see yourself settling down. Maybe you’ve been in too many broken relationships, you’ve gone through too many heartbreaks, I don’t know.

So women tend to start developing a likeness for pets like that, and I think I’m in that stage. I think I’m in that stage right now,” she added.

Her statement has sparked mixed reactions online, with many sharing different opinions about her generalisation and personal choice.

One user commented, “Not every woman wants kids, and that’s okay.” Another added, “She’s generalising too much. Madam, abeg rest.”
