SAN FRANCISCO, January 10, (THEWILL) – Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Gifty Powers, has disclosed that she was married to an American man whose identity she would keep secret for now.
The reality star disclosed this on Sunday when she spoke with The Punch and gave reasons for her decision to hide her husband’s identity.
She said: “I am married and the reason I still have not revealed his (husband’s) identity is that my personal life is extremely priceless and not for sale. My husband is an American and a month after we got married he suggested that since I am a Nigerian, he would love for us to live in my country. But I declined, due to personal reasons. However, I still have my house and businesses in Lagos and Abuja. The world is deep and for one to have a long-lasting relationship, one must keep it off social media.
Gift also gave reasons for deliberately keeping the birth of her second child secret.
“One, because I am proud of my two kids and two, I am full of surprises. Not every part of my life is meant for the media. A mother should always be able to protect her children at any cost because the world we live in is delicate. It is better to be safe than to say ‘had I known’.”
She refused to pass judgment on celebrities who have been accused of two-timing their spouses and argued that life was “full of issues,” because everyone has got their stories,”
“So who am I to judge them?” She asked, rhetorically. “ As much as it is a sin, there is a story behind every situation. One just has to hear the other side of the story.
“Also, as shocking as it may seem, I am proud of all the mistakes I have made. I have no regrets. But, there is one mistake I am not so proud of. I cannot give many details but it happened in October 2019.”
