Popular reality star, Mercy Eke, has revealed her readiness to birth her first child outside wedlock.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate, while speaking in a viral interview, disclosed that she was at the verge of having a child this year, however, she was forced to choose between something else and the baby.

Emphasing further, she stated that she has put in so much efforts to be able to nurture three kids in her own, stressing that she does not need a man to get pregnant.

She said:
"I’m ready to have a child outside marriage, this year I wanted to have a baby, something happened and I had to choose between that and the baby. At this point, I think if I get pregnant now, I’m just going to have my baby. I have worked so hard, and I think I can take care of myself and three kids. I’m a goal-oriented person that always sets things ahead for myself. For me, what people don’t know is all this stigma of having kids without a father is only applied to people who don’t have things going on well for them."
