The celebrity couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Island Frimpong, in September 2020. However, their most-talked-about marriage ended in March 2024.

In a candid video sighted by YEN.com.gh, Fella Makafui opened up about her caesarean section, a necessary procedure due to complications that arose when doctors found that her baby had turned in the womb, rendering a natural delivery impossible.

Fella recounted her experience with surprising enthusiasm, highlighting that she was awake throughout the surgical process.

She described the operating room setting, where two doctors worked on her simultaneously, positioned on either side of her, as a sterile drape covered her abdomen. She reflected on the surreal nature of the experience.

"You know it’s crazy that I am happy talking about it.I could just feel myself moving as if they were forcing something to come out, but I couldn’t feel anything."
"They kept checking in on me, asking if I was okay. Then, in a moment of disbelief, I turned to my left to look at the other nurse and caught a glimpse of my stomach, which shocked me so much that I shouted, 'Jesus!'"
