According to her, she conceived in December, just a month after turning 40 in November, and sees it as a testament to God’s perfect timing.

“The popular belief out there is that I bash men, I hate men. It’s never been the truth. I’m a hopeless romantic. People did not know that I was depressed. Till now, people did not know why I did that thanksgiving service and I’ve never talked about it till this moment. At the start, I told God I want to turn 40 a mum. I turned 40 in November and He did it December. He didn’t fail. God is never late. He just didn’t do it the way I thought it was gonna happen…”

Toke also addressed the public perception that she is critical of men, explaining that her outspoken nature has often been misunderstood. She emphasized that love has always been important to her, and she remains a romantic at heart.

Her heartfelt revelation has sparked an outpouring of congratulations from fans, celebrities, and well-wishers who have flooded social media with messages of support.
