Reality TV personality and former Big Brother Naija winner Phyna has stirred conversation online after revealing that she has no intention of having biological children, choosing instead to focus on raising pets.
In a recent video, Phyna opened up about her personal outlook on relationships and family, noting that despite being capable of having children, she has consciously decided against it.
“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.
The reality star explained that her perspective is shaped by her life experiences, particularly in relationships. According to her, many women tend to develop deeper emotional attachments to pets as they grow older, especially after enduring multiple heartbreaks.
She suggested that repeated disappointments in love can influence how women approach commitment, often leading them to seek comfort and fulfilment in alternative forms of companionship.
Phyna added that she believes she has reached that phase in her life, where the companionship of animals provides the emotional peace she desires.
“I think the love for animals in women kicks in when we’re approaching our 30s… especially when you don’t see yourself settling down. Maybe you’ve been in too many broken relationships… So women tend to start developing a likeness for pets like that, and I think I’m in that stage right now,” she said.
Her remarks have since fueled discussions on social media about evolving views on motherhood, relationships, and personal fulfillment among modern women.
