Her co-star, Luis asked Ini if she has a child and she said she has a baby girl.

“Are you married?” she asked.

“I’m not married,” Ini replied.

“Are you together with the dad?” Nadia questioned.

“No I’m not,” Ini said.

“Is he still alive?”

“Well, I don’t know,” Ini Edo replied to Nadia.

“Girl, is he dead or not? It’s a yes or no question,” Nadia insisted.

“He’s not dead. He doesn’t have anything to do with us. We’re just two people. Just me and my child,” Ini Edo replied.

During her confessional, Ini Edo said, “My journey is one that I have not really been wanting to talk about because it’s personal.”

“I’m raising her alone,” Ini finally told her co-stars. “I went through surrogacy.”

She added: “There was no man in my life at the time and I wanted to have a child. There are different ways to go about that.”
