Renowned Singer Tiwa Savage says the one love story that has stood the test of time in her life isn’t a romantic one—it’s the bond she shares with her son, Jamil.
At 44, the Afrobeats powerhouse peeled back the glittering layers of fame to reveal a tender truth: “I don’t think I’ve experienced true love apart from my son.”
Reflecting on her past—including her marriage—Tiwa admitted those relationships were often fueled by infatuation rather than the deep, enduring devotion she once believed in.
For her, “true love” is not candlelit dinners or grand gestures, but the everyday joy of motherhood—school runs, shared laughs, and unconditional care.
And though she’s searched for that same purity in romance, she now wonders if perhaps it was never meant for her outside of the role she treasures most: being Jamil’s mum.
In a world where love songs are her currency, Tiwa’s most profound ballad may just be the one she lives at home.
