“My sister sent me a screenshot of my mom texting her an article like, ‘Did she tell you … Are the rumours true?’ I was like, ‘What?!’ (My sister) was like, ‘Not Mom believing in gossip!'” Issa recalled. “I was like, ‘But she texted you and she didn’t even ask me!’ I’m like, ‘Mom, a pregnancy… you really think that I would hide a grandchild from you? That you’ve been begging for?!’ So I had to say something, because it was getting out of hand.”

Although the actress prefers to keep her private life private, she is unsure if she will be able to keep private images of her child if she becomes a mother.

“I’m not sure… Maybe if I have a child, I’ll feel like, ‘Everybody needs to see this thing!’ I don’t know!” she joked.

In July 2021, Issa wed Louis, a businessman from Senegal. He initially emerged on her social media pages when she posted pictures from their wedding, even though she had never publicly acknowledged their relationship.
