BBNaija Star Maria Chike Denies Husband-Snatching Allegations, Says She Was Unaware Partner Was Married
BBNaija star Maria Chike Benjamin has addressed claims that she “snatched” a man from his marriage, insisting she had no idea her partner was married when they first started dating. In an interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, Maria denied ever intending to interfere in someone else’s relationship. She said, “I actually wasn’t aware whether or not he was married when we first started dating… I didn’t destroy any marriage. I have never and would never.” Maria explained that much of the controversy stems from other people’s personal matters, not her own actions. She added that she does not owe the public an explanation of every detail of her private life, saying, “There’s just so much personal stuff that would have to come out, and I’m not ready for that. It’s not my personal stuff—other people’s personal stuff—and it has nothing to do with me. I would never shed light on it because I don’t owe anyone that sort of explanation.” The reality TV star also emphasized that she would never deliberately hurt another woman, acknowledging the pain caused when a partner is unfaithful. “I know how it feels when intruders come into a relationship or marriage. I would never even try to do that to another woman,” she said. Her comments come amid ongoing public scrutiny over her relationship and the circumstances surrounding it, as Maria seeks to clarify her position while protecting her privacy. “I wasn’t aware he was married when we first started dating” — BBNaija star Maria Chike addresses husband-snatching allegations. pic.twitter.com/99X3BPXBua https://t.co/VJxSFfZWIc — YabaLeftOnline (@yabaleftonline) February 20, 2026
