Last year, Cross made headlines when he announced a spiritual transformation, stating that he had been ‘arrested by God’ and now dedicates his life to serving Jesus Christ. He expressed his commitment to doing God’s work and building His Kingdom.
Previously, Cross sparked dating rumors with All Stars winner Ilebaye after they were seen together at an event, where they appeared close and affectionate. However, in a 2023 interview, he clarified his relationship status with Kim, emphasizing that his kiss with Ilebaye was merely playful and that he genuinely has feelings for Kim, appreciating her qualities as a potential romantic partner.
As Cross embarks on this new chapter with Chinonso, fans and fellow celebrities are excited to see what the future holds for the couple.
