Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has once again captured public attention by unveiling what she claims to be her new romantic interest – a man whose marital history has already raised eyebrows across Nigerian social platforms. The actress, known for her candid approach to personal matters, made this revelation amid swirling speculation about her relationship status with her previous partner, Xxssive.
The announcement came through her Instagram page, where she shared a photo of a man who has gained viral attention for his unique marital history, having been divorced four times since 2016. With the caption “Y’all meet my man. We go again,” Blessing’s post immediately triggered a wave of reactions from fans and followers, ranging from concern to amusement.
The man in question has an intriguing backstory that was initially shared by his niece on social media. According to the family member’s account, his marriage journey began in 2016, followed by another attempt in 2020, and remarkably, he married twice in 2023 alone. All four marriages ended in divorce, and he is reportedly searching for his fifth wife.
This latest development comes at a time when Blessing’s relationship with Xxssive, whom she began dating in 2021 following her highly publicized split from Ekiti State politician Opeyemi Falegan, has been under intense public scrutiny. For months, rumors of their separation have circulated, despite Blessing’s attempts to maintain privacy around her romantic life.
In October, the actress addressed mounting questions about her apparent reluctance to share photos of Xxssive on social media. She dismissed concerns about their relationship status, emphasizing that Instagram doesn’t reflect real life and asserting her right to post whatever she chooses on her personal platform. The last thing I lack in my life is love,” she declared at the time.
The situation has led to several heated exchanges between Blessing and her followers. When questioned about Xxssive’s whereabouts, she responded with characteristic directness, suggesting that curious fans could visit him if they lived nearby. Another interaction turned confrontational when a fan commented on her apparent split from Xxssive, leading Blessing to respond with sharp criticism.
Adding another layer to this unfolding drama, Blessing recently made headlines for her strong reaction to a fan’s well-meaning marriage wish ahead of her upcoming birthday. The actress questioned the societal assumption that marriage should be everyone’s goal, sparking discussions about personal choice and societal expectations.
The social media response to Blessing’s latest announcement has been mixed and colorful. One user, Money Destiny, drew a parallel to Solomon Grundy, while another, Ritzy Hairline, suggested it was a “match made in heaven.” Some followers expressed concern, with one commenting that the situation displayed more than just red flags, describing it as “green, white, green” – a reference to the Nigerian flag.
This latest chapter in Blessing’s romantic life follows a pattern of public relationships that have captured media attention. Her previous relationship with politician Opeyemi Falegan ended in a highly publicized split, and her openness about her personal life has consistently generated public interest and discussion.
Throughout these developments, Blessing has maintained her characteristic boldness in facing public opinion. When a fan recently suggested she was better off single, noting she seemed more focused and successful, the actress responded defensively, questioning the nature of such comments and expressing hope that the commenter would experience love themselves.
As this story continues to develop, it remains unclear whether Blessing’s announcement is a genuine revelation about a new relationship or perhaps a strategic move to address ongoing speculation about her romantic life. What is certain is that her approach to personal matters continues to challenge conventional expectations and generate significant public discourse about relationships, privacy, and social media culture in Nigerian entertainment.
