Renowned Nigerian author Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie has revealed that she welcomed twin boys in 2024. In a recent interview with The Guardian, Adichie opened up about her decision to keep the births private, emphasizing the importance of protecting her family’s privacy.

“I want to protect my children,” she explained. “I’m OK with having them mentioned, but I don’t want the piece to become about them.”

Adichie, who is known for her privacy, discussed the challenges of balancing motherhood with her writing career. She admitted that motherhood initially hindered her ability to write fiction, but the process of writing her grief memoir, “Notes on Grief,” following the loss of her parents, helped reignite her creative spark.

“Only when I was almost done did I realise, my God, it’s about my mother. It wasn’t intentional. I’m happy that it’s not a sad book. She wouldn’t want a sad book dedicated to her,” she said.

Adichie’s new novel, “Dream Count,” set for release on March 3rd, explores themes of migration, cultural identity, and the pressures of motherhood, reflecting her personal experiences and reflections.
