Renowned Author, Chimamanda Adichie Confirms She Just Had A Baby

Chimamanda Adichie and her husband Dr. Ivara Esegee just welcomed a baby girl.

In a new interview the very private writer has confirmed that they welcomed their daughter weeks ago but decided to keep things private.

She told Financial Times:

This is the first time I’m saying it publicly. I have a little girl. I have some friends who probably don’t know I was pregnant or that I had a baby, I just feel like we live in an age when women are supposed to perform pregnancy. We don’t expect fathers to perform fatherhood. I went into hiding. I wanted it to be as personal as possible.

In the interview Chimamanda also talks about race, her gender, heroines in her novels and more.
