Please the congratulations is to her having her baby it’s a blessing. Her story is left only for her to say not you. So fornicators coming here to ask silly questions should be ashamed of themselves.”

tesssy ann stated: “The way some of y’all come here to question her marital status? Lol are you okay? Is that your business some women have decided to just be single and raise their kids on their own instead of being with an excuse of a man!! Her peace of mind is what’s paramount and last checked she carried her baby herself so y’all FC off get a life !!”
