There is much to discuss, about the marital status of some of the former Big Brother Naija stars, especially the female ones. The driving force of some marriages in the reality TV industry has been the extent to which most affection is accomplished between the lovers in question. A record number of reality TV stars have been involved in some romantic escapades in pursuit of gratifying unions.
Taking part in the Big Brother Naija show, we saw that some of the reality TV stars rested on an affectionate game plan, with minimal focus on what they came to the house for. And leaving the show makes it even more contentious from the fact that they chose to remain married to an already married, but divorced partner.
This decision to be with a presumably “secondhand” partner not only shows another side of a coin but leaves everyone asking the real question, why? From our research, we are able to obtain roughly four former housemates who are currently married to a divorced partner, despite the controversies surrounding such a union.
Oluwabamike “Bambam” Olawunmi
First on our list is the former Big Brother Naija season 3 Double Wahala star, Bam Bam, who after the show in 2018, got married to her co-reality star and lover, Temidayo “Teddy A” Adenibuyan, who was reportedly married before the show, with a kid, and happens to be a boy. However, some sources claim that Teddy A’s first union wasn’t legal, in the sense that there’s no record of him and the former lover married.
However, the fact that Teddy A had a child with the young lady, and the young lady coming out then to claim she was Teddy A’s partner makes it more probable that they were either married or planning to marry.
Despite the controversial moment recorded in favor of Teddy A and Bam Bam back in 2018 during the Double Wahala show, they tend to uncover each other’s tenderness and pursue it, hence the result of getting married in 2019. Teddy A and Bam Bam are happily married and their union has produced two wonderful children.
Maria Chike Benjamin Agueze
The second Big Brother Naija housemate on our list is the season 6 Shine Ya Eye star and former flight attendant, Maria. The Imo State native who spent most of her teenage in Dubai allegedly got married to a once-married man named Kevin Anene. The rumor about their union began in 2021, but it came to light in 2022 when Maria unperturbedly confirmed she was in love with Kevin.
There were several controversies linked to Maria and Kevin’s union which started after Kevin’s friend and showbiz personality Cubana Chief Priest called him out over dumping his then-wife, Maryanne, and falling in love with Maria, who was Kevin’s mistress. Maria was also accused of destroying Kevin’s marriage and taking the place of his wife who was never divorced from him.
Ignoring the naysay, Kevin and Maria continue to build their relationship, hence their secret marriage vow. Their union has been blessed with a child who was born in 2023.
Nina Chinonso Onyenobi
The former Double Wahala star, who took part in the show in 2018 has to be included on our list of BBNaija housemates who found solace in marrying a divorced partner. Nina had been married to a man identified as Anthony Ifeanyi Anoliefo, aka Mr. Tosh. Their union produced a son, named Denzel Kenechukwu Anoliefo who was born in July 2020.
Nina’s marriage to Mr. Tosh lasted for two years, following her decision to marry another man identified as Chris Miller. Nina announced her marriage to the alleged divorced man Chris Miller in October 2022. According to the report, Nina quit her first marriage as a result of uncertainty with her first husband Mr. Tosh, who was said to be linked to financial crime in the United States.
Since then, Nina and Mr. Miller have remained private with their union.
Esther Chioma “Chomzy” Ndubueze
The next on our list is the former season 7 Level Up star, Chomzy. This BBNaija star joined her senior colleagues in becoming the second option to married men. Chomzy got married to a man identified as Rich Figo, who was married with a wife, Precious. Figo and Precious had a child together.
However, in June 2023, rumors began flying around that Chomzy was dating this man whom people identified to be legally married, with a kid. Amid the rumor, Figo was accused of always maltreating Precious which led to them filing for divorce. It was during the divorce proceedings that Figo fell in love with Chomzy, as they nurtured their relationship.
Chomzy and Figo became fully and legally married in December 2023, when they had their traditional marriage. The couple confirmed their marriage in a post on their Instagram pages, where they posted photos taken during the marriage ceremony.
The fact that these reality TV stars are married to divorced partners doesn’t leave any doubt about the success of their various unions. Some people find peace in marrying a divorced spouse, while others remain committed to their pristine partners. In context, we only put together a piece of writing, in the form of awareness creation.
