Kola breaks silence: BBNaija star denies romantic relationship rumours

Kola Omotosho and Imisi appeared on a recent episode of Pulse Nigeria’s “Drink or Spill” series published on 21 February 2026. Kola confirmed he is currently single despite public speculation. Both stars opted to drink rather than name celebrities who disappointed them or reveal their exact financial net worth.

​The reality television star addressed his private life following persistent questions from fans regarding his relationship status. During the game, he made it clear that no one currently holds the position of a partner in his life. The admission comes as a surprise to many who follow the post-show activities of the Season 10 housemates.

​While Kola focused on his single status, the conversation also touched on the dynamics of fame and financial growth. He expressed a sense of humility, noting that he does not yet feel “famous” in the traditional sense. This humble stance follows a recent BBNaija fan rating of Dede, Koyin which analyzed the visibility of various stars from their season.

​Relationship Status and Celebrity Secrets

​Kola remained firm when the host asked about his current dating life and how he met his potential partner. He quickly shut down any rumours of a secret romance by clarifying his position twice to ensure no misunderstanding occurred.

​”I’m currently not in a relationship,” Kola declared.

​Meanwhile, Imisi shared a story about blocking a celebrity from Barbados after an interaction became uncomfortable. She explained that the individual was making advances that she did not appreciate, leading to the digital block. This revelation mirrors the recent public tension where Nkechi Blessing apologized to Imisi after viral birthday drama caused a stir online.

​Financial Literacy and Bank Balances

​The duo faced tough questions regarding their earnings from brand deals and their current bank account balances. Neither Kola nor Imisi felt comfortable disclosing specific figures, choosing instead to take a drink as the game rules required.

​”I’m not about to spill that to them,” Kola noted.

​Despite the secrecy regarding the exact amount, Imisi praised Kola for his financial literacy and his transition into dealing with foreign currency. She highlighted his move towards Canadian banking as a sign of his growth. The segment ended with both stars celebrating their progress and toasted to a “good life” and “more money” in the future.

Shawn Faqua unveils sacrifice: Actor’s wife reveals why she almost moved to Portugal

Nollywood star Shawn Faqua and his wife, Dr. Sharon Faqua, have shared the emotional backstory of their union, revealing she nearly moved to Portugal permanently before their marriage. During a Pulse Valentine’s interview released on February 20, 2026, the couple detailed the “huge sacrifice” that kept Sharon in Nigeria.

​The couple reflected on their journey during the special session, where Sharon admitted she was “done and ready to move” before Shawn entered her life.

She noted that staying in Lagos was a major pivot from her original plan to relocate abroad. Sharon described the decision as a life-altering choice that favoured her relationship over her international aspirations.

​”I was done and ready to move and this young man decided to come into my life and bring me to Lagos of all places.” Sharon Faqua said.

​The height myth and marital patience

​Sharon used the interview to address persistent social media rumors regarding her husband’s physical stature. She explained that fans often mistakenly label the actor as “short” because she is exceptionally tall and frequently wears heels. 

Sharon clarified that while she towers over many, Shawn is of average height and the visual contrast simply creates a false narrative in photos.

​”People think that you’re a short man because sometimes I read the comments. He’s not short, I’m just very tall. He’s okay but he’s not short.” The actress noted.

​The conversation shifted to personal growth, with Shawn highlighting the importance of emotional endurance in marriage. He jokingly remarked that loving Sharon has forced him to develop the “fruit of patience” in ways he never expected.

Shawn noted that while other married men failed to warn him, he has learned to adapt to the demands of their high-energy household.

​”It is at this moment that he realized he needed patience. You know where the Bible says patience as a fruit of the spirit? You made it.” Shawn Faqua shouted.

​Historic train vows and romantic gestures

​The couple also reminisced about their record-breaking wedding, which they held aboard a moving train in October 2025. Sharon revealed that she had to convince a skeptical Shawn to go through with the unconventional venue. 

Although the actor initially thought she was joking, he eventually embraced the idea, making them the first couple to wed on a Nigerian locomotive.

​”Getting married on a train. Because I mentioned it and I was on it at some point. I’m like ‘I bet I’m just joking.’ Almost. I love it, let’s do it.” The star declared.

​The interview concluded with the pair reading intimate, hand-written letters to each other. This public display of affection follows a week of heavy celebrity news, including when Gilbert Baci revealed his deep crush on a close family friend. 

Sharon ended the session by describing Shawn as her “soulmate” and “home,” echoing the sentiment of industry reconciliations like when Mercy Aigbe explained her previous set disputes to clear the air with colleagues.

Gilbert Baci confesses crush: Brother reveals feelings for Hilda’s friend Karen

Gilbert Baci admitted to having a crush on Hilda Baci’s friend Karen during a “Drink or Spill” session on February 19, 2026. While the chef discussed the heavy price of fame and privacy, Gilbert shared his struggles with online trolls before confessing his past feelings for the offshore friend.

​Gilbert Baci recently sparked excitement among fans by revealing his past romantic interests. The social media influencer joined his sister Hilda Baci for a candid game with Pulse Nigeria.

​On February 19, 2026, the duo shared intimate details about their lives and careers. They participated in the popular “Drink or Spill” challenge. Players either answer tough questions or take a shot.

​Gilbert confesses Karen crush

​The session took a spicy turn when the host asked Gilbert about his romantic history. He did not hesitate to name a specific individual from his sister’s inner circle.

​”Yes I had a crush on Karen” Gilbert said.

​The influencer clarified that the lady in question currently resides outside Nigeria. Hilda looked surprised as her brother chose to spill the truth instead of taking a drink. Gilbert laughed while checking his sister’s reaction.

​”y’all are nosy God d—n Jesus I don’t want to hurt anyone” Gilbert shouted.

​The heavy price of fame

​Hilda Baci used the opportunity to reflect on her journey as a global brand. She spoke about the difficulties of living in the public eye after her world record cookathon.

​The chef admitted that the lack of privacy often weighs her down. This sentiment follows her recent public efforts, such as when Hilda Baci supported the Ochanya Ogbanje justice campaign with a significant donation. This philanthropic move cemented her status as a community leader.

“it’s just dealing with things and obviously just not getting privacy cuz everyone is in your business” Hilda noted.

​Relationship secrets

​She described these challenges as the unavoidable cost of her success. People often form opinions about her private matters without knowing the facts.

​The game grew more intense when the interviewer asked about Hilda’s romantic partner. The chef famously posted romantic boat date videos with dapper late last year. She refused to list the specific traits that make her partner a perfect catch.

​”She does so many things that I would rate 10 over 10 but I don’t want to tell you guys that” The star noted.

​Hilda chose to drink heavily to protect her private relationship details from the public. Gilbert also faced questions about his finances and bank balance.

​He joined his sister in drinking rather than revealing his private account statements. The siblings ended the session with laughs after Gilbert refused to name an “overrated” celebrity. He claimed that naming anyone would cause unnecessary drama.

Mercy Aigbe breaks silence: Actress reveals why she enjoyed slapping Wunmi Toriola

​Story Highlights

On February 12, 2026, Mercy Aigbe detailed her journey through Nollywood during a sit-down with Pulse Nigeria. The actress explained her joy in playing a comical character who slapped Wunmi Toriola. She also discussed her dual role in Jaga Baba and her latest cinematic project, Everything is New Again.

​Mercy Aigbe has finally opened up about the most memorable moments of her acting career. The veteran star shared deep insights into her transition from early comic roles to complex lead characters. She spoke with a sense of pride about her growth in the Nigerian film industry.

​The actress admitted that some scenes required intense physical action to feel authentic. She recalled a specific movie where she played a friend who needed to shock her co-star back to reality. This candid revelation comes shortly after Isbae U questioned Carter Efe’s influence during a chaotic and heated media exchange.

​The “Resetting Slap” and Career Milestones

​

Aigbe highlighted her role in a film where she had to slap fellow actress Wunmi Toriola. She described the act as a “resetting slap” designed to help Toriola’s character in the story. The star noted that she actually had fun performing the scene because of their close professional bond.

​The actress also looked back at her early days in the industry with fondness. She remembered her first attempt at a comic role, noting she was much slimmer back then. This career reflection mirrors the way Nkubi’s wife shared medical struggles while discussing the private challenges of her own high-profile marriage.

​Dual Roles and the Cinema Comeback

​One of her most difficult tasks involved playing twins in the hit movie Jaga Baba. Aigbe explained that portraying two different personalities in the same scene was a major technical challenge. She had to balance the unique traits of each sister to make the performance believable for the audience.

​Currently, the star is focusing on her most recent work titled Everything is New Again. She plays a character named Fibi in the film, which hit cinemas on January 30th. Aigbe described Fibi as a “love girl” and urged her fans to support the new romantic story. She ended the session by promising that she is still evolving as a creative force.

Nkubi’s wife exposes doctor: She reveals shocking medical advice suggesting infidelity to avoid dwarfism

​Story Highlights

Nkubi’s wife, Nkechi Vivian, has revealed that a doctor advised her to cheat on her husband to avoid birthing a child with dwarfism. Speaking in an interview on February 10, 2026, she disclosed that the medic suggested she sleep with her brother-in-law instead. The couple also addressed the online bullying directed at their daughter.

​Nkechi Vivian, the wife of popular content creator Nwaogu Udochukwu, known as Nkubi, has shared a disturbing encounter with a medical professional.

​On February 10, 2026, the couple sat for an interview where Nkechi detailed the shocking advice she received during a pregnancy scan.

She explained that the doctor inquired if there was a history of dwarfism in her family. When she confirmed her husband was a little person, the doctor’s response left her speechless.

​”The doctor asked why I didn’t go to my brother-in-law or go outside to get pregnant instead of getting pregnant for my husband,” Nkechi stated.

​Unsolicited medical intrusion

​The suggestion implied that infidelity was a valid medical solution to ensure her child did not inherit her husband’s condition. Nkechi noted that the doctor explicitly proposed she use a “sperm donor” or an outsider.

This audacious comment mirrors the heated gender debates sparked when Uche Ogbodo blamed males for 95% of failed marriages earlier this today. Despite the unprofessional conduct, Nkechi stood her ground and continued with her pregnancy.

​The couple eventually welcomed a healthy daughter, though the journey was not without fear. Nkechi revealed that their baby fell into a coma for seven days shortly after birth. This health scare delayed their decision to show the child to the public.

​Battling online trolls

​Beyond the hospital drama, the couple faces constant scrutiny from social media users. Nkubi admitted that they anticipated backlash before revealing their daughter’s face. He noted that while he has developed a thick skin, the attacks on his child still hurt.

​”We knew we were going to get reactions,” Nkubi said. “Personally I was ready, but sometimes it hurts when you see those things.”

​Nkechi takes a more direct approach to the bullies. She screenshots nasty comments and reposts them to shame the trolls. The couple’s defiance of societal pressure recalls how Elozonam rejected marriage pressure after a friend’s divorce recently.

​Nkubi added that he is a “realist” who knows he cannot completely change societal perceptions. However, he hopes to raise his daughter to be confident regardless of public opinion.

​Changing the narrative

​The actor also criticized the film industry for stereotyping little persons. He observed that directors often cast them solely as comic relief or herbalists. Nkubi argued that little persons deserve roles that explore their humanity beyond their height.

​”We live in a world dominated by average height individuals,” he explained. “It is difficult for people to write stories focusing on little people.”

​He plans to guide his daughter toward a future where she is respected for her achievements. Nkubi specifically mentioned his dream of seeing her become a fashion model, breaking barriers he faced.

Yhemolee slams critics: Star insists he sleeps on his matrimonial bed

​Story Highlights

Yhemolee and his wife Tay addressed marriage rumors during a Pulse Nigeria interview on February 6, 2026. The nightlife entrepreneur debunked claims that he avoids home, stating he sleeps on his matrimonial bed nightly. He also admitted that men transfer the “staff of power” to their wives after marriage.

​Yhemolee has officially shut down wild speculation regarding his commitment to his marriage. The nightlife king appeared alongside his wife, Tay, to address public misconceptions.

​He specifically targeted rumors that suggest he spends his nights partying instead of going home. The couple sat for a “Fun Fact” interview with Pulse Nigeria on February 6, 2026.

​Yhemolee expressed shock at the narrative that he constantly chases women outside. He clarified that his job does not keep him away from his wife at night.

​This public defense mirrors the moment when Veekee James shielded Femi Atere from money claims late last year. Yhemolee emphasized that outsiders often create false narratives about celebrity unions.

​”One assumption is that the money is always outside or I am always around girls,” he stated. He added that people wrongly believe he does not sleep on his “matrimonial bed.”

​The shift in power

​The conversation took a deeper turn when Yhemolee discussed the dynamics of control in marriage. He admitted that men often lose their “staff of power” once they say “I do.”

​”Before marriage, there is a staff of power that only a man holds,” he explained. He noted that after the wedding, he no longer handles that authority.

​”Sometimes I have to transfer a staff of honor to the woman,” Yhemolee confessed. This sentiment aligns with recent discussions where Veekee James set boundaries on female friends to protect her home.

​Tay also shared her perspective on the challenges they face as a couple. She noted that social media often causes unnecessary friction between them.

​”I see something and table it to him,” she said regarding online comments. She feels dismissed when he asks if she is truly bothered by such trivial things.

​Emotional milestones

​The couple also reflected on the vulnerable moments that cemented their bond. Yhemolee recalled a specific setback in 2022 that made him choose Tay forever.

​”For the first time, I think she saw me cry,” he revealed. Her supportive reaction during that low point proved she was the one for him.

​They also spoke fondly of their first month in America with their baby. Yhemolee described it as a “challenging” time because they had absolutely no help.

​”We had to figure it out ourselves for the first month,” he recalled. He now views that struggle as their best bonding memory to date.
