Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Boma Akpore, has revealed the emotional reasons behind the end of a relationship that was heading toward marriage.

In an interview on the Chude Jideonwo Podcast, Boma shared that his partner’s family rejected him, citing concerns over his public image and the scrutiny that comes with his fame.

 

According to Boma, he had plans to propose to his partner in August and had even made arrangements for a trip to the United States to buy an engagement ring. However, those plans came to an abrupt halt when his partner’s family expressed strong disapproval of their union.

“The relationship was amazing,” Boma reflected. “We had our ups and downs, but overall, I thought it was perfect. I was planning to propose – I was supposed to get the ring from America. I even told her I was going to marry her.”

 

But things changed dramatically when his partner’s family intervened. “Once the family got involved, they said, ‘This guy? Hell no, impossible.’ And that just shattered everything,” Boma explained. “It was really discouraging.”

 

Boma pointed out that the public attention surrounding his life contributed to the rejection. “If I wasn’t in the entertainment industry or in the public eye, people wouldn’t know some things about me. But once you’re in the public, that’s the price you have to pay.”

 

Despite the setback, Boma emphasized that he cherished the time he spent in the relationship. He added that while things didn’t work out, the experience taught him valuable lessons about love, family dynamics, and the challenges of being a public figure.
