“For the longest time I had to try to separate those two people, living as Angel and as Miss Morgan, and it affected me a lot. Expectations from so many people,” she explained in an earlier interview.
This made her sink into depression and found solace in alcoholism. Thankfully, she had people who helped her pull through even as she also worked with herself to take back her power.
Losing Weight
Miss Morgan has also talked about her weight loss journey. She explained that her weight made her uncomfortable and self conscious. She felt like she couldn’t wear certain clothes or get certain roles. Thus, she began her weight loss journey and managed to lose a considerable amount of weight.
Engagement and Daughter
In a recent interview with Hiram Kamhunjia, she revealed about her broken engagement and unsupportive baby daddy. The two met and fell in love when she was 29 years old. They met through a cousin and he launched a year-long pursuit to win her heart.
A few months after the engagement, she found out that she was pregnant. The news was greeted with elation from the then fiancée and he walked with her through the pregnancy journey until she was five months pregnant before he disappeared.
He later came after she had delivered and even stayed in the baby’s life for a year. Later, he became an absentee dad and when Covid-19 hit, she reached out to him to ask for help in taking care of their daughter.
He demanded a DNA test but still did not provide support after the test came back positive. She is currently taking care of her nine-year-old daughter.
The actress also revealed that she wishes to find love again. She added that she wouldn’t date a divorcee again or a married man. She went on to state that her baby daddy had six other children, information she wasn’t aware of.
She accepted the turn of events and stated that her daughter has enough male figures.
