Nigerian reality TV star Segun Daniel Olusemo, popularly known as Sheggz has confirmed his breakup with BBNaija’s Bella, revealing that they have been separated since January 2026.

The former Big Brother Naija housemate, via a lengthy statement, explained that he had previously avoided speaking publicly about his personal life out of respect for his family but he felt the need to speak up and clear his name.

“I have never spoken publicly on the internet out of respect for my family, and it simply isn’t my nature to do so. However, after four years of working hard to build my life and my reputation, I feel it is only fair to clarify my position rather than allow my name or character to be unfairly tarnished. I am a man who values family, friendship, integrity and my faith. I am a brother, a friend to many and most importantly, I know the values I stand for. I am not an abuser. For clarity, I did not cheat on Bella and I have been single since January 2026,” Sheggz said.

He explained that much of 2025 was difficult for him due to health challenges that saw him spend considerable time in and out of hospital, maintained that despite the painful end of the relationship, he does not want hostility or a public exchange of accusations and wishes Bella well.

“Much of 2025 was an extremely difficult period for me as I spent a significant amount of time in and out of hospital. I am genuinely grateful to be alive after everything I experienced. The relationship ended in January 2026. We made attempts to reconcile afterwards but ultimately I came to the conclusion that there were issues of trust and respect that I could not overlook when considering marriage. I believe a marriage should be built on mutual respect, honesty and the ability to communicate with one another properly. I understand that her family may have their own feelings about the situation and I respect that. From my side, I know that I tried sincerely and repeatedly to make things work,” he added.
