Controversial Nollywood actress Nkechi Blessing has officially confirmed her breakup with her younger boyfriend, Xxssive, ending months of social media speculation about their relationship status.

In a series of posts shared on her Instagram story on Thursday, the 36-year-old actress revealed that she has actually been single since last year. "I have been single since last year, I choose when I want to talk about my life, and the time is now. No bad blood between me and anybody, we are good," she stated.

The relationship between Nkechi and 27-year-old Xxssive began in September 2022, following her highly publicized split from Ekiti-born politician Opeyemi Falegan. The nine-year age gap between the actress and Xxssive had been a frequent topic of discussion among fans and critics alike.

Throughout their relationship, the couple had been known for their frequent public displays of affection on social media, with many followers admiring their apparent chemistry despite the age difference. The pair had even sparked engagement rumors in the past, with videos circulating of what appeared to be a proposal.

This announcement comes after months of breakup rumors, which the actress had previously avoided addressing directly. Her decision to confirm the split now suggests she is ready to move forward publicly with this chapter of her life closed.

Nkechi Blessing, known for her outspoken nature and controversial stance on various issues, has maintained that there is no animosity between her and her ex-boyfriend following their separation.

The actress has been in the spotlight recently for various reasons, including her professional work and public statements. This latest development in her personal life adds to her already colorful public persona in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
