She expressed: “Yeah, intensely. I remember saying that I felt like the woman that I was the day I gave birth was very different from the woman I was the day before.
“Until you see this human being that you’re now suddenly completely responsible for and you have to make choices about, you don’t really understand the gravity of that situation.”
Simi, known for hits like ‘Gone for Good,’ emphasizes the multifaceted transformation motherhood has brought to her life, affecting her identity as a woman, artist, friend, and wife.
“And it has definitely changed my life in so many ways. As a woman, as a person, as an artist, as a friend, as different things, as a wife even,” she elaborates.
Moreover, she acknowledges the pivotal role played by her supportive husband, Adekunle Gold, in navigating the challenges and joys of motherhood.
“It definitely helps that I have a supportive husband where I don’t feel like I have to do it all by myself,” she concludes.
