- Shaffy Bello boldly shared that her DMs are still buzzing—with admirers both young and old—adding with a laugh that the attention hasn’t slowed down.
Shaffy Bello, 54, recently opened up about her love life, revealing she’s done dating younger men.
On the Dear Ife podcast, the actress said she’s moved on from that phase, calling it a closed chapter.
“There is no need for me to date a younger man. I have dated a younger man and don’t want to do it again. What I want now is different.”
Shaffy Bello said dating younger men was fun while it lasted, but she’s outgrown that phase. It wasn’t a mistake, just a season in her life, she explained.
“When I dated a younger man, I was having fun. It was for a season, and the season is over. But there is nothing wrong with it.”
Shaffy Bello boldly shared that her DMs are still buzzing—with admirers both young and old—adding with a laugh that the attention hasn’t slowed down.
“Men slide into my DM. Over 50 and even younger men. It’s flattering, but the thing is, some of them are badly behaved. Some will tell me ‘Hi dear’.”
While Shaffy says she appreciates the admiration, she is however, no longer moved by empty gestures or unserious suitors. In fact, the actress revealed she is now open to marriage, but on her own terms and not the conventional. She explained:
“What I want now is marriage; I don’t mind marriage. But I have a different opinion when it comes to marriage. I think a lot of people are rigid when it comes to marriage.”
