Phyna Says She Prefers Pets Over Having Children

Reality TV star and former BBNaija winner, Phyna, has spoken candidly about her stance on motherhood, disclosing that she currently has no interest in having biological children and would prefer to channel her energy into caring for pets.

According to Ireporter Online, the media personality made this known while reflecting on her personal life choices and how her experiences have influenced her perspective on relationships and family.

Phyna stated that although she is biologically fertile, she does not feel any desire to have children of her own at this point in her life. She explained that she would rather embrace a lifestyle centered on being a “cat and dog mum,” expressing fulfillment in caring for pets instead of raising children.

She further noted that, in her view, some women tend to develop a stronger affection for pets as they grow older, particularly after experiencing emotional challenges in relationships. According to her, repeated heartbreaks or unsuccessful relationships can sometimes influence women to seek comfort and emotional stability in alternative forms, including companionship with animals.

The reality star added that she believes this shift often becomes more noticeable as women approach their 30s and beyond, suggesting that personal experiences and unmet expectations in relationships may contribute to this preference.

Her comments have since generated mixed reactions on social media, with some users supporting her right to personal choice, while others criticized her generalisation about women and relationships.

One social media user remarked that not all women desire motherhood and that such choices should be respected, while another argued that her statement was overly broad and unnecessary.
