Former Big Brother Naija (BBnaija) housemate Sheggz, on Tuesday, announced the end of his relationship with fellow reality TV star Bella Okagbue.
Confirming the development in a post shared on his social media page, Sheggz said the relationship officially ended in January 2026.
This is as the reality TV star denied cheating on Bella or being abusive towards her, noting that he decided to speak after what he described as attempts to damage his reputation.
According to him, he had chosen not to discuss the relationship publicly out of respect for his family and a desire to protect his private life; however, the situation surrounding the issue had compelled him to speak up.
He said, “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.”
“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.”
“For clarity, I did not cheat on Bella, and I have been single since January 2026. 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.”
“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.”
He said he believed marriage should be built on mutual respect, honesty and effective communication, adding that he genuinely wanted the relationship to work and had considered marrying Bella.
“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.”
He explained that two people could care deeply for one another and still decide that a relationship was no longer right for them.
Despite the breakup, Sheggz said he did not want hostility or a public exchange of accusations between both families.
“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.”
