Nollywood star Nkechi Blessing has opened up about her dating history, clarifying that none of her former partners were wealthier than she was, despite widespread assumptions.
Speaking during a recent live session, the actress reflected on how her private life often draws public scrutiny, particularly regarding her relationships. She stressed, however, that she does not want to be judged solely by the men she has been with.
Blessing revealed that although she has always been financially independent, she frequently ended up with men who couldnāt match her economic standing. She noted that her choices were guided by affection and companionship, not financial gain.
According to her, most of these partners offered love, care, and attention but fell short of providing the stability and support she truly needed.
Looking ahead, Nkechi expressed optimism about finding healthier relationships. She observed that many men nowadays seem to enjoy being pampered ālike princesses,ā a situation she refuses to entertain. āThe next man that comes into my life must come correct,ā she declared, vowing not to repeat past mistakes.
Her words ā¦
āI think all my life, with the little that some of you know about me or with the much that you know about me on the internet, itās always been about being in one relationship, saga or the other. Then again, I said to myself, this is not what I want to be known for. I donāt want to be that girl who everyone thinks if she doesnāt have a man in her life, she cannot function. Thatās not who I am. Because all my life, even with the men in my life, I still do my things myself. Come on. It has always been about me. Not like this man do anything for me. I made a post on the comment and someone said itās because you are not dating down. The whole relationship that Iāve ever been online was me dating down. Yes. Iāve never dated someone who has more money than I am. And thatās a fact. And not like I was with them because of what they can give to me. They literally cannot give me what I want. The only thing they gave to me was just maybe their love, care and attention. But if it is about being materialistic, that was not it for me so when i say i miss being in a relationship i really miss being babied i miss being you know when you just call me randomly hey babe iām just checking on you i think i have i have stayed long enough is it i donāt know i donāt know just need to focus on other aspects of my life because i cannot be known for always coming online to fight my exes when my mates are doing big things so i think i i have taken a long break from relationship one year is enough to heal and you know find love again and then move on because the truth is iām a lover girl Yeah, I love to love. I love to be in love. I love when I just be around my man. I am very clingy, just in case you donāt know. Yes, I am. The fact that I was born February 14 also added to the fact that I love to love. I am someone who loves seeing people in love. So for the past one year, anytime I scroll through Instagram, I see loved up videos of couples. It makes meā¦ Iām not a hater. If not, I will drop bad, bad comments. But then againā¦ I miss being in love. So to the very next man that is planning or trying to come into my life, you must come correct. I have dated down three times. I am not about to date down anymore. You must meet my standards because the fact remains, I have everything going on for myself already. So anybody that is coming into my life right now must be someone who has way more than I do. Because Iām not trying to babysit no man no more. Because the men we have out there, most of them are princesses. They want a woman who is going to take care of 100% of the abuse.ā
