Big Brother Naija Season 10 runner-up, Dede, has finally addressed speculations about her relationship with fellow housemate Kola, clarifying that while she genuinely likes him, her feelings are not strong enough for a romantic relationship.
During her time in the house, Dede and Kola developed a close bond that captured the attention of viewers. Their undeniable chemistry led many fans to hope for a possible romance after the show. Kola had made his feelings clear, even though Dede mentioned she was already in a committed relationship outside the house.
Speaking in a post-show interview with host Ebuka Obi-Uchendu, Dede described Kola as “an amazing person” but emphasized that her admiration for him does not extend to love or relationship intentions.
“I really like Kola; he’s a wonderful human being. We connected deeply in the house, but liking someone doesn’t always mean it has to lead to a relationship,” she said.
The reality TV star further explained that her priority now is personal growth and career advancement, not romance.
“Kola is a good friend, and I respect him a lot. But I’m in a space where I need to focus on myself and my journey. Love can wait,” she added.
Her statement has sparked mixed reactions among fans online — while some praised her honesty and emotional maturity, others accused her of leading Kola on during the show.
Meanwhile, Kola has yet to respond publicly to Dede’s comment. However, his fans have continued to express support for him, with many urging the duo to maintain their friendship outside the show.
As the post-BBNaija buzz continues, Dede’s revelation sheds light on one of the most talked-about relationships of the season, leaving fans curious about what the future holds for both housemates.
