Maurice Ampaw is a legal practitioner
Legal practitioner Maurice Ampaw has disclosed that he has seven children: two sets of twins with different women and three children with three other women.
The lawyer, whose wife died on February 18, 2021, and who remarried in 2022, said that while his wife was alive, he had affairs with other women, leading to the birth of three children. In an interview on The Delay Show, he claimed that his ability to have children with multiple women demonstrates his versatility and responsibility.
In the interview, Ampaw confidently explained that his wife's death left a vacuum, and the twins she left behind needed motherly affection, as they were neglected by the family. Seeing Celestina in the picture, he decided to marry her.
“When my wife died, I realized my children needed motherly love because the extended family had rejected them. I told Celestina that my children (twins) needed a mother, so if she took care of them well, they would bless her with twins. She took care of them, and now she has twins – two girls. So, I have two sets of twins and others,” he said, prompting an exclamation from show host Deloris Frimpong Manso (Delay).
“Oh yes, I have children with different women,” Ampaw proudly stated. “I have children with about three women. I’m versatile and honest with myself. These three others came before Celestina’s twins but after my twins with my late wife. I was having affairs with women when my wife was alive. We had children, and that’s it.”
He rejected the claim that he is being reckless, saying: “I'm not reckless; I’m being responsible. I had good intentions for every woman I had a baby with.”
Meanwhile, Ampaw ruled out the notion that he married Celestina solely because of his children, stating that he admired her and that the needs of his children only "hastened" the process.
He explained that because he had been spending quality time with Celestina whenever he visited Kumasi, it was not a difficult decision to marry her after his wife’s death.
“Celestina was my friend,” he said. “We had been friends for more than seven years, and she had been taking care of me whenever I went to Kumasi. She lived in Offinso. My wife never knew about us. My friend cared for me for seven years; we spent time together, ate together, and made love once in a while.”
