Popular Yoruba movie actress Kiitan Bukola has opened up about her family background and the challenges she faced growing up, particularly the lack of parental care from her father.
In an interview posted on the official YouTube channel of Biola Adebayo Ent, Kiitan revealed that her father had multiple wives and as many as fourteen children. This, she explained, significantly impacted the level of parental love and attention she received during her upbringing.
Her candid disclosure has sparked conversations about the struggles of growing up in a polygamous family and the resilience it takes to overcome such challenges. Fans have praised her for her openness and strength.
In her statement, she said, “The good part about family is that it made me understand what love is all about because I had to extend my love to a lot of people. My dad had many wives and up to 14 children, I didn’t enjoy parental love from him. There are some of my father’s children that I have never met before, I only met some of them online.”
