    Why I will never date a celebrity – Doyin

    Big Brother Naija reality TV star, Doyinsola Anuoluwapo David, popularly known as Doyin, has disclosed why she would never be romantically involved with a fellow celebrity.

    The controversial reality TV star said she has always dated men outside of the entertainment industry, so she doesn’t see herself going into a relationship with a public figure.

    Speaking in a recent interview with Hip TV, the outspoken podcaster said she has been with her current boyfriend for ten years.

    Doyin said that she does not want her private life and family to be in the public eye because she’s dating a celebrity.

    Her words:

    “I don’t see myself dating somebody in the limelight. All my life, I’ve always dated men in the corporate world. Those are the men I met; maybe it is because of what my life was like before. I have known my current partner for like 10 years.

    “I don’t just see myself dating someone in the limelight. I don’t want my family out there. Let me be out there. But I want to go back home to some sanity. I’m submissive to my partner even now that we are not married.

    “I believe that two people cannot lead a successful relationship. They will clash. One person has to be more agreeable. That’s why I keep saying a woman’s most important job is choosing the right man to lead her.”
