In a recent appearance on Arise TV, relationship expert Blessing ‘CEO’ Okoro made a case for married men who hide their love child/children from their wives. During the discussion about “Husband snatching: Reality or myth,” Blessing explained her perspective on the dynamics of relationships involving mistresses and men with secret love children.
According to Blessing, a mistress is someone a man likes but cannot marry due to his existing marriage. In such situations, some men opt to have a child with their mistresses as a way to preserve the emotional bond they share, even if they cannot legally marry them.
When asked about the potential impact on the child’s mental health, Blessing acknowledged that various factors could affect mental well-being. However, she asserted her position as a realist, emphasizing that she prefers addressing actual circumstances rather than ideal situations. She stated that if a man chooses to keep his love child a secret, the most critical aspect is ensuring the child knows their father’s roots so that they can have that connection.
Blessing further defended men who make the decision to keep their love child and their mistress away from their family. She suggested that this choice may stem from a desire to avoid drama and chaos within the family. Instead, the man may choose to provide for the mistress and their child by offering them a comfortable life outside of his family home.
While Blessing’s views may provoke differing opinions and ethical discussions, her statements highlight the complexities and challenges faced in some relationships, shedding light on a topic that is not often openly discussed.
