Former Big Brother Naija Season 5 housemate, Ka3na Jones, has shared a deeply personal account of her journey through grief and single parenting following the death of her husband, whom she fondly called Mr. Jones.
In an emotional post on Instagram on Wednesday, the reality star and entrepreneur reflected on the pain, exhaustion, and emotional toll of raising her daughter alone while grappling with the sudden loss of her partner.
“Nobody ever tells you, ‘Hey Katie, this amazing man you’re about to marry only has five more years to live… Or, don’t rush into having kids. He’s going to die and leave you a widow and a single mother in your prime,’” she wrote.
Despite the heartache, Ka3na said she wouldn’t change the decision to have her daughter.
“Would I have done anything differently if I knew? Honestly, no. Because I can’t imagine my world right now without my baby girl,” she said.
However, she admitted the demands of single motherhood have been overwhelming.
“Do I wish someone would just look at me and say, ‘Katie, take a break… I got this’? Absolutely! I. Am. Tired.”
