The reality star reveals the true reasons behind his shocking split from his former partner
Former BBNaija star Sheggz has confirmed his relationship with Bella Okagbue ended in January 2026 due to unresolved trust and respect issues. Breaking his silence on August 19, 2026, he firmly denied cheating allegations and revealed he had previously bought an engagement ring.
Former Big Brother Naija housemate Segun Olusemo has officially addressed his split from Bella Okagbue. The reality star took to social media to clear his name after months of rumors. Fans showed massive shock when they read his long statement online.
Sheggz published his side of the story on August 19, 2026. He noted that the couple parted ways in January due to deep trust issues.
Clearing His Name
The TV star rejected the wide claims of cheating and abuse. He stressed that he only stepped forward to save his good image.
”I have never spoken publicly on the internet out of respect for my family, and it simply isn’t my nature to do so. However, after four years of working hard to build my life and my reputation, I feel it is only fair to clarify my position rather than allow my name or character to be unfairly tarnished.” – he wrote.
He maintained strong family morals throughout his new message. The celebrity denied all abuse labels firmly. He set the record straight about his dating life.
”I am a man who values family, friendship, integrity and my faith. I am a brother, a friend to many and most importantly, I know the values I stand for. I am not an abuser.” – the star stated.
Rumors previously suggested that he saw other women. He ended those talks instantly.
”For clarity, I did not cheat on Bella and I have been single since January 2026.” – he added.
Health Struggles And Trust Issues
Sheggz fought major health battles during the previous year. He spent long weeks at a hospital in England. A major shock awaited him when he traveled back to Nigeria in October 2025.
”Much of 2025 was an extremely difficult period for me as I spent a significant amount of time in and out of hospital. I am genuinely grateful to be alive after everything I experienced. Following treatment and recovery in England, I returned to Nigeria in October 2025, where I became aware of information that caused me to question the honesty within our relationship. I had given several opportunities since 2024 for the truth to be shared with me but unfortunately, that did not happen.” – the actor revealed.
He felt deep pain because he loved her dearly. The lack of clear regret from her side hurt him even more.
”It was difficult for me to process, particularly because I had loved Bella deeply and genuinely hoped we would spend our lives together. I also struggled with how the situation was handled and at times, I felt there was not the level of remorse or understanding I had hoped for.” – he explained.
The pair tried to fix things after their initial split. They soon realized that a happy marriage needs total honesty. He felt he could not ignore the glaring problems.
”The relationship ended in January 2026. We made attempts to reconcile afterwards but ultimately I came to the conclusion that there were issues of trust and respect that I could not overlook when considering marriage. I believe a marriage should be built on mutual respect, honesty and the ability to communicate with one another properly.” – Sheggz noted.
The actor proved his serious intent by shopping for jewellery. He accepted that deep love does not always guarantee a lasting bond.
”I genuinely wanted the relationship to work. I even went as far as purchasing a ring because I believed in the possibility of a future together. Unfortunately, sometimes two people can care deeply for one another and still come to the realisation that the relationship is no longer right for them.” – the celebrity admitted.
Family Tension And Moving On
Bella’s family naturally held strong views about the tough split. Her sister Sandra Okagbue recently asked him to delete Bella’s old birthday photos. Sandra left a blunt remark on his Instagram page.
”Kindly take down Bella’s pictures off your page” – Bella’s sister wrote.
Sheggz chose the high road despite the obvious tension. He recognized their right to feel upset.
”I understand that her family may have their own feelings about the situation and I respect that. From my side, I know that I tried sincerely and repeatedly to make things work.” – he shared.
He refused to drag out the dispute in public spaces. The star wished his former lover well in her future goals. He hoped all parties could find lasting peace.
”I have no desire for hostility or public back-and-forth. I simply want to move forward peacefully with dignity and respect for everyone involved. I wish Bella nothing but the best in life and I hope we can all eventually move on with grace.” – he concluded.
