Super star and brand ambassador, Geneveive Nnaji for the first time talks about her private life – being a single mum, her love life and career.

Arguably one of Nigeria’s most talented actresses of all time, Genevieve Nnaji is the latest star to rock the hot seat and have “The Truth” chat with Olisa Adibua.

She got talking on a range of topics from her humble beginning to the initial challenges of being a single mother; her rise to fame as a Nollywood star; and the launch of her fashion brand – St. Genevieve.

We bring you excerpts from the interview:

About her first love and baby daddy:

He was a very, very, handsome man. A long time ago, very handsome man, trust me.

Let’s talk about relationships – are you currently in one? Are you looking at settling down at some point? I know you’ve heard that question a lot of times but tell us the truth now.

I think everyone is prioritizing and so am I. It’s not like I don’t want to settle
down, want somebody and until I find that person, there’s no thoughts of me settling down. I’m not looking, I’m a woman, we are not allowed to look.

When was the last time you had a boyfriend… do you have one now?

I don’t have a boyfriend now.

Ok, so what are you looking for in a man? Your ideal guy, what are you looking for in a man?

I am that person that eats with her eyes, like I need to be attracted to you. Definitely. There has to be physical attraction that will draw me to you but at the end of the day, it’s your mind I’m going to fall in love with. I’m probably looking for a friend, someone who shares a like mind and somebody who is confident. Aww, I love tall guys. I’m short you have to think of the kids.

Don’t you think a lot of guys are scared of you now? They will say she is good looking, successful, she’s got her own career, let me leave her alone, I can’t handle that kind of wife. I can’t tell her what to do.

Then he is a baby, a boy. I’m not looking for a boy. Men don’t let artificial things like that intimidate them.
