Venita Akpofure, the 37-year-old reality TV star, has dismissed rumors suggesting that she is currently in a relationship with her former colleague Adekunle Olopade.
The two were romantically linked during their time as housemates on the last edition of the reality TV show.
In a recent interview on The Big Friday Show, Akpofure clarified the status of their relationship, stating, “He is fine, he is definitely walking his own path because my journey and his journey are different. He is in a different place, his journey is very different from mine.”
Akpofure, who gained prominence as a housemate in the fourth season of the BBNaija reality show in 2019, emphasized the age difference between them and how their life experiences have shaped their individual paths. She mentioned that she has more life experience, and while they are both doing well in their respective endeavors, they are no longer romantically involved.
“One thing is that I am significantly older, so I have more experience in life. I kind of know the direction of what I want to go in, and also this is my field of work,” she explained. “His field of work will probably dabble into this one and cross others. But yes, he is doing fine, and I am doing cool. We are not dating, and that is just how it is.”
Venita Akpofure, born in the UK and hailing from Delta state in Nigeria, grew up in Benin, Edo state. The reality star, a mother of two, was previously married to her one-time partner Terna Tarka for four years.
