Phyna, the winner of Big Brother Naija’s “Level Up,” said that she dated a Muslim man for whom she had high intentions of converting to Islam.
The reality star said that even though she had shown a desire to become a Christian, his family had rejected her, so the relationship could not work.
Phyna revealed that while her boyfriend’s family prevented him from marrying her, she was a Catholic before she converted to Islam.
She disclosed this in a recent Hero’s Therapy interview with media personality Hero Daniels, claiming that her mother and sisters had threatened to throw her out.
The brand representative, who was born in Edo, said that after ending the relationship, she found out she was pregnant and told her ex-boyfriend, who refused to take responsibility.
She said that the man informed her that it was her “business,” therefore she felt forced to end the pregnancy because the “embarrassment was too great.”
Phyna said; “I left, I went back home and found out I was pregnant. I called him and he said that’s my business. I would have loved to keep the child but the embarrassment was too much.
“Not even one person in the family wanted a Christian and I felt I had a bright future and I knew it was going to draw me back, so I was left to make the hardest choice ever.”
