“I Embrace Groovy’s Affection Despite Our Age Difference,” Says BBNaija’s Uriel

Uriel Oputa, a former contestant of the Big Brother Naija reality show, has made it clear that she won’t let age be a barrier in her budding romance with her younger colleague, Groovy. This declaration follows their public display of affection in a viral video that had led to speculations about their relationship.

Uriel, who is 34 years old, faced criticism from some quarters for dating Groovy, who is 29 years old. In response to her critics, she took to her Instagram story to express her perspective on the matter. She firmly stated that she wouldn’t reject love based on age, emphasizing her right to pursue happiness. She further cited the example of Stan Eze and Blessing, possibly to illustrate that age differences in relationships aren’t uncommon and should not be stigmatized.

Uriel made it clear that she wouldn’t allow anyone to steal her happiness and expressed her frustration at feeling the need to explain her choices to others. She recounted the simple love story between herself and Groovy, highlighting the connection they shared as two single individuals. Groovy responded to her post by sharing love emojis on his own Instagram story, indicating his feelings for Uriel.
