Praye Tietia on ‘traumatising’ 8-year wait for children with wife Selly

Husband (Praye Tietia) and wife Selorm Galley (Selly) with their twins
Music star Steven Fiawoo, alias Praye Tietia of the Hiplife trio Praye, has opened about how long it took for his union with his wife to produce children.

He underlined this year marked 10 years of marriage to his actress and TV presenter wife Selly Galley. However, he noted, they had waited eight years to have a child.

The singer said during this period, he was more worried for his wife than himself, seeing as “women go through a lot at the hands of family members when there is no child in a marriage”.

Notwithstanding, he added, nothing upset him more than “the trolling on social media.

“It was very worrying for her [too]. Being her husband, seeing what she went through, it was traumatising. So it was fulfilling for me, especially, that God had listened to our prayers and given us these special gifts.”

The pair have twin toddlers birthed in 2024.

Praye Tietia categorically shot down the idea he considered having child outside wedlock, in view of his wife’s challenges.

“God has a time he does everything,” he contentedly noted.

He added, “God has a reason in us going to deliver the babies in America. Perhaps, if he had tried to have a baby here – because the one before the twins, we lost it at eight months.

“There’s been many miscarriages, too,” he emphasised. “So successfully delivering these [children] meant we had to give all the praise to God.”

Tietia lightheartedly recalled how he delicately cared for his wife during her pregnancy, aiming to safeguard the babies she was carrying.

He thanked their church, pastors, friends, fans and especially “family, who were very understanding” and supportive during the trying times.
