I had you at 21, Stella Damasus celebrates daughter at 22

Nollywood actress Stella Damasus has celebrated her daughter Izzy Belle on her 22nd birthday, revealing that she gave birth to her when she was 21 years old.

The 43-year-old made this known in an Instagram post on Friday, recounting her experiences as a young mother.

“Happy birthday my darling daughter, you’re 22 today. I still can’t believe it because it seems like yesterday when I had you at 21, I was scared and worried, I didn’t know how I was going to be a mum, the kind of mum you need,” she said in parts.

Damasus married her first husband, Jaiye Aboderin, at 21 in 1999. The couple had two daughters before Jaiye died in 2004. She remarried in 2007 to Emeka Nzeribe. The marriage lasted for seven months before a mutual agreement to divorce.

In 2011, she became romantically involved with Fimmaker Daniel Ademonikan. Their relationship sparked a lot of controversies because Daniel was married to actress Doris Simeon at the time. She was seen as a homewrecker. She relocated abroad with him and her daughters.

In September 2020, it was reported that Stella had separated from Daniel.
