Love can be a whirlwind, and Vanessa Nicole, the former flame of comedian Funny Face, admits that their relationship was a rollercoaster ride.
The couple, who share three beautiful children, went through a messy breakup that had everyone talking. They officially announced their separation in 2020.
Vanessa candidly reveals that they both made mistakes and are partly to blame for the rapid pace of their romance.
"We weren't patient with each other. We didn't take the time to truly understand and know each other better. We met in September, and by October, I was already pregnant. We are both at fault. Despite everything, I just hope for the best," she shared during an interview with Kwaku Manu.
According to Vanessa, it has been over a year since Funny Face last saw their children. However, she clarifies that she is not keeping them away from him.
Vanessa assures that if he makes a request, she would gladly allow their children to spend time with their father.
"It's been more than a year since Funny Face saw his kids. The last time was when we came to visit him in Accra. I am not selfish, and those who know me can attest to that. I would love to hear him say, 'Bring the kids over during vacation.' If he makes that request, I have no problem with it. We don't have any animosity towards each other. This doesn't mean I want us to reconcile. All I desire is for us to be co-parents. It's not solely my decision, and it's not the woman who chooses whether a man gets married. If Nana Yaw wants me...well, he didn't like my piercings, so I took them all out," she explained.
Vanessa, who took a break from acting to focus on her children, proudly announces her return to the business.
She also shares how the public still associates her with Funny Face, which doesn't bother her at all.
"Even now, people still call me by Funny Face's name. But I'm not bothered because, of course, we share children. It's normal. I can't say I'm completely immune to it, but I won't let anyone take advantage of me. I will stand up for myself. I might be a fool for love, but I won't let anyone cross the line," she firmly stated.
As a mother of four daughters, Vanessa reveals that her pain pushed her to get multiple tattoos. With almost 20 tattoos adorning her body, each one carries a unique story.
"I have multiple tattoos and piercings because I simply love them... Do what makes you happy, not what pleases others... When my children grow up and express a desire for piercings or tattoos, I won't fight it," she concluded with a smile.
Vanessa's journey is a testament to resilience and the unwavering love she has for her children, even as she navigates the complexities of co-parenting with Funny Face.
