Controversial relationship coach and media personality Blessing CEO has opened up in a candid interview with Pulse Nigeria, sharing insights into her love life, upcoming wedding plans, cosmetic surgery journey, and the pressures of living in the public eye.
Blessing, who announced her engagement to businessman IVD in April 2025, said her relationship has brought her peace, comfort, and a childlike sense of joy, unlike her previous marriage.
The renowned relationship coach has always been open about her teenage marriage to her ex-husband, whom she met when she was still a minor and married at the age of 18. She described how quickly she was thrust into adulthood at a young age because of the marriage, stating that she had no youth at all, adding that she was ’‘groomed.”
Her relationship and subsequent engagement to IVD raised many eyebrows due to the assertion that they had been linked romantically since late 2022, shortly after the tragic death of IVD’s wife, Bimbo Ogbonna, in October of the same year.
However, despite the noise and controversy, their love blossomed into what we see today, which she says has brought her a sense of peace and a childlike joy that she had never experienced before.
“My man has brought out my inner child; it’s obvious. I’m comfortable around him; he’s my friend, and I can do anything with him,” she explained with a beaming smile.
On the topic of wedding planning, Blessing admitted that finalising the guest list has been the most stressful part so far.
Putting the guest list together has been the most stressful part of wedding planning, avoiding all the ‘You didn’t text me’ and ‘You didn’t invite me. It might be a big, typical African wedding; I don’t know yet. The way I’m going, it might be small.
