This is one of those questions that keeps resurfacing no matter how many times people try to move past it. Anytime Toke Makinwa trends, anytime she shares a deep caption, anytime motherhood comes up in conversation, this question quietly follows.

So I decided to address it properly — without assumptions, without cruelty, and without turning a woman’s private journey into gossip.

Did Toke Makinwa use IVF?

No, Toke Makinwa has never publicly confirmed using IVF.

As at now, there is no interview, statement, book excerpt, or verified disclosure where Toke Makinwa said she used IVF or any assisted reproductive method.

Everything suggesting otherwise is speculation.

Now that the question is answered directly, let’s talk about why this rumor exists, why it refuses to die, and why people keep projecting it onto her.

Where the IVF rumor started from

The IVF rumor did not start with evidence.

It started with timing.

Toke Makinwa is a successful woman in her 40s, she is financially independent, unmarried, and does not have a child.

In today’s celebrity culture, that combination alone is enough to trigger IVF assumptions.

People did not ask because she announced anything.

They asked because society struggles to understand women who don’t follow predictable timelines.

How age became the loudest trigger

Let’s be honest.

Once a woman crosses 35 in the public eye, every life decision becomes medicalized.

People stop seeing choice.

They start seeing urgency.

Toke Makinwa’s age is often the unspoken reason behind the IVF rumor. Not her words. Not her actions. Just her age.

And that’s unfair.

Social media and the problem of projection

Another major driver of the IVF conversation is social media projection.

Many women share their own fertility journeys online now — IVF, freezing eggs, surrogacy, late motherhood.

That visibility is powerful.

But it also creates a habit of projecting personal experiences onto celebrities.

Because someone else did IVF at 40 does not mean Toke Makinwa did.

Has Toke ever hinted at IVF indirectly?

No.

This is important.

Toke Makinwa is not subtle when she wants to communicate something meaningful.

When she went through heartbreak, she spoke.

When she healed, she wrote a book.

When she built businesses, she announced them.

If IVF was part of her story and she wanted it public, she would own it.

The confusion between silence and secrecy

Many people confuse silence with secrecy.

But they are not the same.

Toke Makinwa has simply chosen not to center her life around explaining her womb to the public.

That is not secrecy.

That is boundaries.

Did her marriage play a role in the rumors?

Yes, indirectly.

Toke’s previous marriage and its very public breakdown created a narrative of loss and “what could have been.”

People often assume children were part of that dream.

So when the marriage ended without a child, the internet began filling in blanks that were never given.

If you want clarity on her marital status today, I explained it fully here:
Is Toke Makinwa married now?

Has Toke ever spoken about fertility challenges?

No confirmed statement exists where Toke Makinwa said she has fertility challenges.

This needs to be said plainly.

Not having a child is not evidence of infertility.

Not using IVF publicly does not mean IVF was secretly used.

We need to stop turning absence of information into conclusions.

Why IVF rumors follow successful women

This is bigger than Toke.

IVF rumors follow successful women because success disrupts traditional dependency timelines.

When a woman does not “need” marriage for stability, people start looking for explanations.

IVF becomes an easy narrative.

It sounds modern.

It sounds plausible.

But plausibility is not proof.

What Toke Makinwa has said about motherhood in general

Toke has spoken about love, family, healing, and emotional readiness.

She has never framed motherhood as a deadline she is racing against.

She has framed it as a part of life that deserves intention, not panic.

That perspective alone clashes with the IVF rumor narrative.

The emotional cost of these assumptions

This is the part people rarely consider.

Fertility conversations are deeply personal.

IVF conversations even more so.

Assuming someone’s medical journey without consent is invasive.

Even when it’s dressed as curiosity.

Did Toke Makinwa adopt instead?

Some people pivot from IVF rumors to adoption rumors.

Both are untrue.

Toke Makinwa has not adopted a child.

I broke that down clearly here:
Was Toke Makinwa adopted?

Why motherhood speculation follows her lifestyle

Toke lives a full life.

Travel.

Luxury.

Freedom.

For many people, that lifestyle feels incompatible with motherhood, so they assume something must be happening quietly behind the scenes.

That assumption is wrong.

Does not using IVF mean she never will?

No.

And this is where nuance matters.

Not confirming IVF does not mean she is against it.

It simply means she has not shared that part of her life.

And she does not owe anyone that disclosure.

Why this rumor keeps resurfacing every year

Because unresolved curiosity keeps recycling itself.

No new information appears.

So the same question returns, louder each time.

But repetition does not turn rumor into truth.

Separating public interest from entitlement

Being a public figure does not erase bodily autonomy.

Toke Makinwa shares her work, not her womb.

That line matters.

How this fits into her broader life story

The IVF question is one small part of a very big life.

To understand Toke properly, you need context — her upbringing, losses, rise to fame, and reinvention.

I covered her full journey here:

Does Toke Makinwa have a child at all?

No.

And if you want the full explanation behind that question, I addressed it deeply here:
Does Toke Makinwa have a child?

What we should normalize instead

Choice.

Privacy.

Different timelines.

Not every woman’s story must be decoded by strangers.

Final thoughts from me

Toke Makinwa has not confirmed using IVF.

Until she says otherwise, that is the truth.

Speculation does not help her.

And it does not help the women projecting their fears onto her.

Her story is still unfolding.

When she chooses to speak, she will.

Until then, respect is the loudest support.
