“I won’t be the first…” – Maria Chike finally adressses rumours about her affair with married men

Big Brother Naija, BBNaija reality TV star cum media personality, Maria Chike Benjamin, has finally addressed rumours that she goes after married men while promoting her new TV show.

Recall in 2021, celebrity barman, Cubana Chief Priest, called out Maria for having an affair with his sister’s husband, Kelvin.

In 2022, She was amongst others accused of having an affair with Apostle Johnson Suleman. The Reality Star’s colleague, Angel JB Smith also accused her of dating a married man.

During a recent interview, Maria Chike disclaimed being single and spoke about being in a longstanding relationship.

She said: “Oh! I am not single I have not been single in a long time. I am very much in a healthy relationship with a partner that I have been seeing for many years now. He is a great person in my life, and encourages everything I do, and he gives me peace. I am just so grateful to God that I have him.”

On the accusations that she goes after married men, Maria Chike refuted the claims. The light skinned reality star had this to say:

“Obviously, there was a biased rumour about me, of course, I won’t be the first, and it happens anytime someone comes to fame. That rumour that came out in 2021, it’s not in my place to discredit or credit it, you know I never even brought it out there in the first place and it is not in my place because it is going to touch a lot of personal lives and it is just not in my place to voice out. Also, I don’t owe people any explanation.”
