“I’m Tired of Being Single” — Actress Nkechi Blessing Opens Up About Love Life

Nigerian actress Nkechi Blessing has opened up about her frustration with being single, admitting that her current status is the longest she has ever gone without a relationship.

Speaking on her talk show, Unfiltered with NBS, the outspoken star revealed that she is growing weary of life without a partner.

“This is actually the longest that I have been single. I am literally tired of being single. Before, once I leave one relationship, two working days, I don find another relationship,” she said.

Her remarks come nearly a year after her breakup with her younger ex-boyfriend, Xxssive, which she publicly confirmed in May 2025. Nkechi, 36, clarified then that they had quietly parted ways in 2024.

Before Xxssive, she had a highly publicized and messy split with Ekiti-born politician, Opeyemi Falegan, in 2022.

Opinion: Love, Pressure, and Society’s Gaze

Nkechi Blessing’s confession may seem humorous at first, but it reflects a deeper truth many people—especially women in the public eye—face. Society often treats relationships as a measure of success, and celebrities like Nkechi are constantly under scrutiny for who they date, when they break up, and how soon they move on.

Her honesty about being “tired of singlehood” also highlights the vulnerability behind the glamour. For someone often portrayed as bold and unbothered, it’s refreshing to see Nkechi admit that companionship is important to her. After all, fame and success do not erase the very human desire for love and stability.

Perhaps the real lesson here is that relationships are not about speed—jumping in after “two working days”—but about depth and alignment. Nkechi may be single now, but this season could be the pause she needs to find a love that truly lasts.
