00:00 Tina Turner's daughter-in-law is trying to have a baby.

00:03 Afida Turner, who is married to Tina and Ike Turner's late son Ronnie, revealed in a new

00:08 interview with People that he froze his sperm as a birthday gift to her before he died of

00:14 colon cancer in December 2022 at 62 years old.

00:18 "I'm going to have Ronnie's baby, if I can.

00:22 I'm 46, but we'll see," she revealed to the outlet.

00:26 The French singer wants to carry the baby herself and is set to undergo in vitro fertilization

00:31 before her next birthday, which is on December 22.

00:34 And she continued on sharing why this is what she wants, telling People, "It's still bad

00:40 because he's not here, but what can I do?

00:42 At least I will have a little one that looks like Ronnie, a monster like me and him.

00:47 Can you imagine?"

00:48 Afida is emotionally spent over the loss of her husband, and losing her mother-in-law

00:52 only six months later has made her grief even stronger, adding, "My heart is destroyed.

00:59 It's a punishment.

01:00 Morning and night, I'm crying and screaming.

01:02 It was very sad that Ronnie passed, and then his mom passed six months after.

01:06 It is very difficult for me because people only see the music or the pictures, but I

01:11 go back home and scream the names of my loved ones.

01:14 That pain will never go away."

01:16 Tina's rep confirmed to AXS Hollywood that she died after "a long illness" on May 24.

01:23 She was 83 years old.

01:24 The rock legend was known for her strength and vitality on and off stage, and served

01:29 as an empowering role model after overcoming difficulties in her personal life, including

01:34 a troubled marriage with her abusive ex-husband Ike.

01:38 In 1997, Tina shared with AXS Hollywood how she stayed focused on her goal of solo success

01:43 after leaving Ike, and didn't waver, even in her most challenging times.

01:48 "I knew I would work again.

01:50 I must say that I just wanted to be as big as, let's say, the superstars filling the

01:56 stadiums and et cetera.

01:58 And I had kind of put it on hold because I was trying to actually take care of my life.

02:03 And then when I decided to go back to work, that was the focus.

02:05 I wanted to play stadiums.

02:07 I wanted to fill stadiums.

02:08 I never doubted myself because I've been performing long enough to know that I'm good at that.

02:13 That's all I've ever done.

02:15 That I know I can do.

02:17 And so it didn't matter how old I was.

02:19 I was much younger then when I actually hired my manager, Roger Davis, that made all of

02:24 it happen.

02:25 I said to him, this is what I wanted to do.

02:27 And I remember now that he looked at me kind of strange.

02:31 But you were 42 or 40-something at the time.

02:34 And I didn't think about age."
