Nollywood actress Bimbo Thomas recently shared intimate details about her personal life and her relationship with fellow actress Funke Akindele in an interview with Chude Jideonwo.

She recounted a harrowing experience from years ago when armed men stormed her hotel room searching for Funke Akindele. Bimbo revealed that she hid under the bed and refused to give up her friend, even when threatened with her life.

The Yoruba star also spoke candidly about suffering a miscarriage that almost cost her life and discussed her dedication to motherhood, sometimes at the expense of her career. She further reflected on the profound impact of losing her mother, describing how the experience shaped her.

Fans have praised Bimbo for her loyalty and resilience. Social media users commented:

“An incredibly humble soul, pure, and rare.”

“She’s so beautiful and humble to a fault. Love her so much.”

“Such friends are rare.”

“Beautiful, articulate, and intelligent.”

“Pain behind the smiles. She is a good actress. I wish her brighter days ahead.”

“Every smile hides a story of pain no one sees.”

In a 2020 Instagram post, Bimbo spoke out in support of single mothers, challenging the stereotype that they lead reckless lives. She clarified that being a single mother of one does not define her character, explaining that many women in similar situations were betrayed by men or circumstances beyond their control.

Bimbo welcomed her son, Oluwatobiloba Irewole Tomiwa Ajadi, in Texas over five years ago. During her pregnancy, she openly celebrated her baby bump, though she kept the father’s identity private.

Reflecting on her childhood, Bimbo revealed she grew up with 18 boys, an experience that influenced her style and contributed to her tomboy personality. She gained wider recognition after starring in Funke Akindele’s hit film, Omo Ghetto Reloaded.

She also shared how she battled an illness similar to COVID-19 during the 2020 festive period. The sickness struck on Christmas Day after she attended the premiere of Omoghetto the Saga. Bimbo expressed gratitude to God, her son Jayden, and her fans for their support during the period.
