Once bitten twice shy.

Now we know why Tonto Dikeh’s appears to be hiding the identity of her new boo, Mr X, from the prying eyes of the media – she doesn’t want to lose him like she did her ex Michael Awolaja.

Last November, Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh introduced luxury designer, Awolaja – also known as Malivelihood, as her boyfriend but it appears he has now left her for someone else.

Dikeh had right about that time given a shout out to girls who steal ‘other’ girls’ boyfriends – perhaps this was a hint about the intimate details of the split between herself and Malivelihood.

Well, not much is known about their split but the new woman in Malivelihood’s life is Deola Smart, daughter of a Kogi State Senato.

Malivelihood’s Instagram feed for the past month has been dedicated to the beautiful lady whom he refers to as ‘DS’.

So there you have it.

Not ready to be back stabbed again, Tonto who has been busy with charity and keeping her love life mostly private.

Even though she often shows off gifts and vacations from her new ‘beau’, she simply calls him Mr. X on social media and would not divulge any more details.

Can you blame the Tontolet for her decision? We guess not.
