Nollywood actress, Shaffy Bello, has expressed displeasure at the approach of some young men sliding into her DM.

Naijaonpoint reports that the thespian, while speaking in a recent episode of the Dear Ife podcast, revealed that young men still message her on social media DM at 54.

However, Shaffy Bello stated that she is uninterested in dating younger men, stressing that she had done it before for fun and would not do it again.

The film star emphasised that her priorities had now changed, adding that she is no longer looking for fun but marriage.

She said, “Yes, men still slide into my DM. When you’re over 50 and young men still slide into your DM, that’s flattering. But some of them are just badly behaved. Some will come and say, ‘Hi dear.’ You know, you just want to insult their mother. But it’s flattering.

“I can’t date a younger man. There’s no need to. I’ve done it before, but I don’t want to do it again. I think what I want now is different. When I dated the younger man, I was having fun, and it was for a season. That season is over. But there’s nothing wrong with dating a younger man,” the actress said.

Bello added, “I know for sure what I want now is marriage. I don’t mind marriage, but I have a very different opinion when it comes to what we [Nigerians] believe marriage is. I think a lot of people are very rigid when it comes to marriage. I would rather leave it there.”

Shaffy Bello was married to Mr Akinrimisi from 1995 until 2020. They have two children.
