Big Brother Naija reality star Segun Olusemo, popularly known as Sheggz, has confirmed that his relationship with fellow former housemate Bella Okagbue ended in January 2026, while denying claims that infidelity was responsible for the breakup.
Sheggz addressed the development in a statement shared on his official social media page, explaining that he decided to speak after remaining silent for months out of respect for his family and personal values.
The reality TV star said he wanted to correct what he described as attempts to damage his reputation, adding that he had worked hard over the years to build his public image.
“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,” he said.
Sheggz firmly rejected allegations that he cheated on Bella, stating that he had been single since the beginning of the year.
“For clarity, I did not cheat on Bella, and I have been single since January 2026,” he said.
The former BBNaija housemate also revealed that he faced health challenges in 2025 and spent significant time receiving treatment in England before returning to Nigeria in October. He said events during that period affected trust within the relationship despite attempts by both parties to resolve their differences.
Sheggz said he was serious about building a future with Bella and disclosed that he had even purchased an engagement ring because he believed their relationship could lead to marriage.
“I genuinely wanted the relationship to work. I even went as far as purchasing a ring because I believed in the possibility of a future together,” he stated.
However, he explained that the relationship eventually reached a stage where continuing was no longer possible. He added that he had no interest in engaging in a public dispute with Bella or her family.
Sheggz wished Bella well and said he hoped both sides could move forward peacefully, with respect and dignity.
“I have no desire for hostility or public back-and-forth. I simply want to move forward peacefully with dignity and respect for everyone involved,” he said.
