Big Brother Naija reality star Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, popularly known as Doyin, addresses the sensitive topic of DNA testing within relationships.
She emphasized that while it may be painful, requests for DNA tests should not trigger emotional reactions.
The issue of paternity fraud has sparked intense discussions among Nigerians. Many advocate for mandatory DNA testing at birth to prevent any uncertainties regarding parentage.
Doyin in reaction to the debate, took to her Instagram page to share her perspective. She believes that it is not unreasonable for partners to request for DNA tests.
She stated that If a man chooses to care for a child who may not be biologically his, it should be a conscious decision rather than an assumption of fatherhood.
She highlighted that the prevalence of paternity fraud underscores the need for rational thinking when faced with such requests.
She wrote:
“It’s not a bad thing for your partner to request for DNA test. If he wants to take care of a child that isn’t his, let it be his decision to do that intentionally not because he thinks he’s the father. The rate of paternity fraud is too high for you to think emotionally if your partner asks for a DNA test. It’s a painful request but it’s understandable.”
In another story, Doyin opens up on why she will never date a celebrity.
She emphasized that throughout her life, she has gravitated towards dating men in the corporate world, and this preference has remained unchanged.
She attributed this inclination to her past experiences and the stability she finds in relationships outside of the limelight.
The reality TV star disclosed that she has been in a relationship with her current partner for approximately a decade.
Doyin expressed her desire to maintain privacy regarding her personal life and family.
