Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessing Sunday has opened up about her current single status, describing it as the longest period she has gone without a partner.
Speaking on her talk show, Unfiltered with NBS, the 36-year-old actress revealed that she is growing weary of being single.
“This is actually the longest that I have been single. I am literally tired of being single. Before, once I leave one relationship, two working days, I don find another relationship,” Nkechi said.
She explained that, unlike in the past, when she would quickly move from one relationship to another, this extended period of being alone feels unfamiliar.
Nkechi’s remarks come less than a year after her breakup with her younger partner, Xxssive, which she publicly confirmed in May 2025.
According to reports, the couple had parted ways in 2024, and the announcement on social media formalised what fans had already suspected. Xxssive, significantly younger than the actress, had been her most recent high-profile relationship.
Before Xxssive, Nkechi had a widely reported and controversial fallout with Ekiti-born politician Opeyemi Falegan. Their relationship, which attracted significant media attention, ended amid public scrutiny and disagreement.
The pattern of publicised breakups and rapid transitions between relationships had previously defined Nkechi’s personal life, making her current period of singleness particularly noteworthy.
In reflecting on this phase of her life, Nkechi said she is learning to embrace the unfamiliarity of being single for a prolonged period. Despite the challenges, she expressed optimism about navigating love and personal growth, stressing that this experience is helping her better understand herself.
Fans and followers have long followed Nkechi’s romantic life, with social media often amplifying every development. Her disclosure on Unfiltered with NBS provides insight into her emotional journey, as well as the pressures of maintaining personal relationships under public scrutiny.
At 36, Nkechi is now balancing her career, personal growth, and public expectations. While she admits that her prolonged singleness feels unusual, she emphasised that she is committed to self-discovery and understanding what she truly wants from future relationships.
Observers note that Nkechi’s openness is part of a broader trend among Nigerian celebrities, who increasingly use personal platforms to share authentic experiences about love, mental health, and personal development. By discussing her feelings about being single, Nkechi not only addresses her personal challenges but also resonates with many who may face similar experiences.
As she continues to embrace her single status, fans hope that Nkechi will find the balance and happiness she seeks, both personally and professionally. Her story highlights the complexities of life in the public eye, the unpredictability of relationships, and the importance of self-acceptance and growth.
Nkechi Blessing’s journey underscores that even celebrities, despite fame and success, face ordinary human experiences like love, heartbreak, and self-discovery.
For now, the actress appears focused on embracing this period of her life, navigating it with honesty and introspection.
