‘I Was 2 Months Pregnant When He Died’-Ruth Matete Reminisces Struggling With Pregnancy & Husband’s Death

Celebrated gospel musician Ruth Matete is in sombre mood after sharing nostalgic details about struggles with her late Nigerian husband’s death & pregnancy concurrently. The award winning artist took to her Instagram to celebrate herself on Women’s Day for remaining strong, especially during the trying time from years back.

”Happy Women’s day. Today I celebrate myself for holding on through the tough times! My husband died two years ago after being married for 4 months. I was 2 months pregnant when he died…

I celebrate you Ruth Matete for not giving up. I celebrate every other woman out there!! I celebrate you, who went through probably something worse than I did and still made it. Women! We are strong! We are Powerful! We can!
Meanwhile, pregnancy can really humble you????
Happy women’s day!”

She continued to narrate how she struggled to bear receiving blame for her husband’s death while she was still pregnant;

”I dealt with multiple pain at the same time. Rumors that I killed my husband. Cyber bullying. Pregnancy emotions. Death of my husband. Burying my husband 3 months after his death because of issues surrounding his death. Corona. My business closing.There are days I cried and didn’t even know the exact reason for crying. But God!! I didn’t know if it was a test. But I kept praying and telling God that if it was a test, I was gonna pass it!”

According to reports, John Apewajoye, Matete’s hubby, passed on in 2019 through a gas cylinder accident.
