Zora actress Jackie Matubia got pregnant by accident for her fellow costar Blessing Lungaho, the two are expecting their first baby together.
Matubia opened up on getting pregnant for Blessing Lungaho while speaking on her YouTube channel.
The actress revealed that she didn’t plan to get pregnant and as such only found out that she had been knocked up while experiencing morning sickness.
“I knew I was pregnant at 8 weeks. There is an event I went to and we partied hard. I went backstage and missed a step and fell. When I went to my friends I told them about it and we even laughed about it. The next day I wasn’t feeling well, I even thought I had Covid. I had no appetite, and his cologne was irritating me. I was at a point where I never thought I could be pregnant again,” Jackie Matubia narrated.
The Zora actress said she was on family planning and that when doctor broke news to her that she was pregnant it was a shock for her.
“Between my last period and the time of conception, when I was getting pregnant I was on family planning (an injection). The doctor told me I was 8 weeks pregnant, I froze when the doctor told me that. I did not know whether to laugh, cry or shout. Zahri’s (first born) was something I had planned for. In this second pregnancy, I wasn’t ready because our relationship was just in the ‘honeymoon’ period.”
Jackie Matubia said Blessing Lungaho was very happy when she broke the news to him, while for her she was still finding it hard to come to terms with the truth.
The Zora actress was fearing the pregnancy would affect her work because she had signed multiple contracts with different companies.
“For the next 1 week, I used to cry because I did not know if my contracts with different companies would be terminated. I felt like I was gonna lose all the sources of my income, it was hard.“
