BBNaija’s Dede Speaks on Relationship with Kola, Says “I Like Him, But Not Enough for a Relationship” ❤️
Big Brother Naija Season 10 runner-up, Dede, has set the record straight on her relationship with fellow ex-housemate Kola, putting an end to weeks of speculation among fans who had hoped their in-house chemistry would blossom into something more.
In a post-show interview with Ebuka, Dede revealed that while she genuinely likes Kola and considers him “an amazing person,” she is not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship outside the house.
“I do like Kola, but it is not enough for a relationship. I do like him. He is an amazing person. I would always sing his praise regardless of what it is. But it’s not enough for what we thought it is,” she said.
She went on to admit that she eventually got bored with their relationship dynamics during the show, suggesting that the spark that once intrigued viewers may have dimmed before the finale.
Recall that during their time in the Big Brother house, Dede and Kola shared an emotionally charged connection that often blurred the lines between friendship and romance. Despite Dede openly declaring that she was already in a relationship outside the house, Kola persisted in expressing his romantic interest — a situation that kept fans glued to their screens week after week.
💭 Opinion: Dede’s Honesty Reflects Growth and Emotional Clarity
Dede’s statement may come as a disappointment to “DeLa” shippers, but it also shows a rare sense of maturity that reality TV rarely highlights. Rather than ride on fan expectations or media buzz, Dede chose honesty over hype — and that’s commendable.
It’s easy for reality stars to get swept up in post-show pressure — to feed narratives that keep their names trending — but Dede’s candor reflects someone who knows her boundaries and values authenticity over appearances.
Kola’s charm and persistence made their on-screen relationship one of the show’s most talked-about storylines, yet Dede’s decision not to extend it beyond the house underscores a deeper truth: connection doesn’t always mean compatibility.
As the BBNaija Season 10 stars adjust to life outside the house, Dede’s words remind fans that not every bond needs to become a love story — some connections are meant to teach, not to last. 💫
