Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Boma Akpore, has revealed that his relationship, which was heading toward marriage, was abruptly ended by family rejection.
Naijaonpoint reports that Boma, in an interview with media personality, Chude Chideonwu, on the WithChude podcast, described the relationship as amazing, despite the normal ups and downs.
The reality TV star said his plans about marrying the lady were concrete, stressing that he was set to travel to the United States in August to purchase an engagement ring.
Boma said the situation changed dramatically when his partner’s family intervened and refused to accept him, citing things they had heard about him.
According to the BBNaija star, the rejection was a direct consequence of the public scrutiny that comes with his fame.
He said, “I met someone that I really liked and I was going to marry. I was supposed to be engaging her like last August, I was going to go to America, get the ring, bring it back because I liked her and I told her I was going to marry her.
“It was an amazing relationship, we had a little bit of ups and downs but it was perfect. I thought we had a perfect relationship till the family got involved and said ‘this guy? Hell no, impossible.’
“So that collapsed everything and that was very discouraging. If I was not in entertainment or public eye, nobody would know some things about me. Once you come on the public, that is the prize you have to pay.”
