Wife of former national football player, Kanu Nwankwo, Amara Kanu revealed how she felt when she gave birth to her first child at a young age.

Taking to Instagram, the fitness coach wished her son a happy birthday as he clocked 13 today sharing how she didn’t know what she was doing but she had to take care of her valentine baby.

The proud mother of three wrote:

“13 years ago today. I didn’t know what I was doing. How I was going to be a teenage mum amidst so many internal and external critics. I was very career driven. How was I going to drop school and take care of my new Valentine baby, but I had faith. And an incredible amount of resilience that saw me through. I remember my mum telling me that what I had in my hands was greater.  And then that’s when I looked down at his lovely head full of hair and let out a grateful sigh and this shot was taken. Picture Perfect.

“Being a mother is one of the most highest paid jobs in the world since the payment is PURE LOVE. ???? I’m glad I took the leap. Sean Boy. You rock my body. Happy birthday @sean.kanu My Valentine. My love. My motivation.”
