Popular Nollywood actor, Norbert has revealed how she and his wife and industry colleague, Gloria Young battled with childlessness for seven years.
They spoke in an interview on Love Notes With Tope about the challenges they faced in those early years of marriage.
According to Gloria, Norbert remained calm and often reassured her all through the period.
She explained that she felt the weight of the situation more deeply due to external pressures and personal anxieties.
Gloria also said while Norbert’s family never questioned them about having children, her own family frequently brought it up.
“I was childless for seven years. However, it was a challenge more for me but it was not for him,” she said.
“He kept asking me why I was worried but I was the one feeling it more and seeing things. However, nobody in his family ever asked about it but they did in my family.”
Also speaking, Norbert said he was not bothered by the situation because he has a sister who also experienced 16 years of childlessness.
“I didn’t see it as a challenge. I had a sister who was married for 16 years without a child, and on the 17th year, she had a child,” he said.
“Her husband did not tell her to leave and that child today is a medical doctor. The childlessness didn’t threaten our union at all.”
The lovebirds tied the knot in April, 2002 and the union is blessed with a daughter.
