Nobody wants to marry me because I am a single mother of two – Kaffy

Renowned Nigerian dancer and choreographer, Kaffy, has opened up about the personal struggles she faces as a divorced single mother.
Speaking in a recent conversation, the 45-year-old entertainer revealed that many men avoid pursuing a relationship with her simply because she has two children.
She condemned the cultural stigma surrounding divorced women, questioning why society often views them as “less desirable,” despite the rising number of marriages that end in separation.
Kaffy further argued that individuals who have gone through divorce and taken time to work on themselves may actually make better partners than people who have never been married.
According to her, true love should be about peace and security, not anxiety or constant worry.
Her words:
“I’ve had somebody tell me because I’m a single mother, I can’t even think about dating me because I have two children.
99% of the people that criticize me about my marriage are either not married today or have left their marriages.
What makes you think that a woman that has been divorced is not even the better candidate if she has worked on herself? What is the guarantee that the two single people today are not both going to be divorced people tomorrow?
Because why are people feeling like, I need to marry him fresh and I need to marry her fresh? But both of you are going into the same data that the world has computed for you.
There are over 70% of marriages crashed. You are part of the 70%.
Real love brings peace, not butterflies. Real love is not supposed to make you anxious. I’m still healing from those anxious feelings… I’m 45, but I’ve spent the last 10 years of my adult life trying to fix it.
My children were looking at us and I’m like, go. If you have to leave, go. You think I’m irresponsible? I know how responsible I am as a woman.
I don’t sleep around. I don’t do casual stuff. I even heard people say after I used him to collect children—my IVF champion—like I don’t understand.”
