Despite revealing recently that this pregnancy was a surprise for her and her boyfriend Ime Udoka, Nia Long tells EBONY mag she prayed and asked God to give her a new baby.
We’ve got what the new mom-to-be (again) had to say about her new bundle of joy inside….
While posing nude to show off her gorge baby bump in the new November issue of EBONY magazine, Nia Long reveals that she actually asked the heavens above for this baby.
She tells the story of learning that she may never be able to have another child, and how sad she was in that moment:
“I honestly asked God for this.”
“I remember I was driving home from the doctor, and I called Ime, and I was like, ‘Babe, I’m really kind of sad right now … the doctor actually said if I wanted to have more children, it would be hard.’”
“The next time [Ime] came to visit, he said, ‘I don’t believe that.’ I said, ‘You don’t?’ He said, ‘No.’ And I said, ‘Good, me neither,’” she recalls. “Then I got pregnant.”
Nia, who is already mom to 10-year-old Massai, Jr. and is due this fall, also gave advice to unmarried women who are in their 40’s who are being discouraged from getting pregnant.
“The medical [profession] tries to tell every woman, ‘Have your babies before 40 because you shouldn’t have children after 40,’” she says. “Society tells us, ‘Get married before 30, because no man wants a woman after 30.’”
“You are not half the woman you’re gonna be until you turn 30. You’re not even half of that woman yet,” Long explains. “So I think if we’d just take our time as women, and do what comes natural to us and for us, we would make fewer mistakes.”
