Wema ‘happy for Tanasha’ as she urges online users to stop mocking her over infertility

Tanzanian actress Wema Sepetu says she is happy for Kenya’s Tanasha Oketch as she approaches the homestretch in her 9-month pregnancy journey.

Tanasha is expected to give birth to a baby boy in early or mid-September.

Wema, who is the ex-lover of Tanasha’s current boyfriend, Diamond Platnumz, says she wishes to “congratulate” the Kenyan beauty for having a successful pregnancy journey thus far.

“Honestly, I am so happy for Tanasha. I pray that God gives her grace. When you see that a woman managed to conceive, simply congratulate her and ask God to guide her throughout the pregnancy journey,” Ms Sepetu told Tanzania’s Global Publishers.

“I am also happy that the father of Tanasha’s baby, Diamond, loves children, and that makes it even better for her (Tanasha),” added the Miss Tanzania 2006.

Asked whether she would get a baby with Diamond if the “Kwangwaru” star approaches her with that request, Wema said: “No, my chapter with him was closed.”

Wema Sepetu and Diamond Platnumz, whose real name is Nasib Abdul, dated between 2012 and 2014.

Diamond, in a past interview, suggested she left Wema because the actress “did not want to carry my baby when we were dating”.

Wema, who in a past interview, revealed that she aborted her pregnancy, has been struggling with fertility problems, which have seen her subjected to insensitive remarks on social media.

“You guys think that I am happy being childless? I also crave to be called a mother. There is nothing that hurts me so much like loving children, yet I am unable to have them. So, those telling me that the biological clock is not on my side, you think that I don’t know that? You think I would like to die without leaving a child behind?” posed Wema in the interview with Global Publishers.

“When I post a baby’s photo on my social media pages, you would see some followers telling me: ‘Give birth to yours’. It hurts me. At the end of the day, I am human.”

The 30-year-old has been seeking fertility problem solutions in India, and is hopeful she will, one day, be able to conceive.

She says she wishes to have a son for her first baby.
