Former Big Brother Naija reality star Queen Mercy Atang has addressed speculation about her marriage after she unfollowed her husband on Instagram and deleted their wedding pictures, explaining that the move was intended to protect their relationship.

Queen, who married David Oyekanmi in March 2024, sparked rumors of marital troubles when fans noticed changes to her social media accounts just months after their wedding.

In a viral video shared on her page, the reality TV personality clarified her actions, stating: "I was trying to take my marriage off social media because my husband's handle is out there, with a lot of ladies sliding in his DM to say both positive and negative things."

She emphasized that her decision was motivated by a desire to safeguard their relationship. "I just want to protect my marriage and reduce some of the things I put out there," she explained.

The former BBNaija housemate, who was a single mother before her marriage to Oyekanmi, appears to be taking steps to maintain privacy in her relationship despite her public profile.

Queen's explanation highlights the challenges celebrities face in balancing public interest in their personal lives with the need to nurture their relationships away from public scrutiny.

Her decision to limit her marriage's exposure on social media platforms comes at a time when many Nigerian celebrities are reassessing how much of their personal lives they share online.
