- Ghanaian media personality MzGee has responded to backlash over her decision to have a child outside marriage, calling out societal pressure and double standards.
- After years of divorce and public scrutiny, she chose to become a mother at age 38, giving birth to her son in January 2025.
- Her decision sparked criticism, with some accusing her of defying religious norms.
- On her Gee O’Clock show, MzGee defended her choice, urging compassion for women navigating divorce, delayed marriage, or single motherhood.
MzGee is no stranger to public scrutiny — but this time, she’s pushing back with clarity and conviction.
The Ghanaian broadcaster recently addressed criticism surrounding her decision to have a child outside marriage, a move she says was born out of personal agency, not defiance. After years of divorce and relentless pressure to remarry, MzGee chose to embrace motherhood on her own terms, welcoming her son on January 13, 2025.
Her announcement, however, was met with mixed reactions. While some celebrated her courage, others accused her of violating religious expectations and societal norms. But MzGee isn’t backing down.
On her Gee O’Clock show, she reflected on the years of unsolicited advice — from friends, family, and strangers — urging her to marry quickly and have children before her “biological clock” ran out. By age 38, still unmarried, she made a decision: stop waiting, start living.
She condemned the hypocrisy that allows men to father children outside wedlock without consequence, while women in similar situations are vilified. She also called out the tendency for even other women to join in the judgment, saying the chorus of criticism has become exhausting.
MzGee’s message was clear: life doesn’t always follow the script, and women deserve the freedom to rewrite their own. She urged society to replace judgment with empathy — especially for divorced women or those still waiting for love.
Now, as a mother and a media figure, MzGee says she still believes in marriage — but only on her own timeline. Her story isn’t about rebellion. It’s about reclaiming joy, choosing self-worth, and refusing to be shamed for doing so.
