Rachael Bakam may not be popular in the Nollywood scene but she is definitely known for Hausa movies.
But that wasn’t what made her known, as an actress.
She recently became popular as a result of her failed marriage to showbiz big boy, Isreal Edjren.
She certainly moved on fast from it, and now she is with the man with the sexy accent- John Fashanu and she says she’s “in love with John.”
Rachael said she doesn’t believe all the messy stuff John’s ex said about him in print, saying she has come to know who John really is.
“We have the same bad experience. He is coming from a bad marriage and I am coming from one as well. He has told me all the details. With what we have been through, it is not something bad if you hook up with somebody who must have had the same experience as you. Maybe that is why it is working out so well for us,” she said.
They may even get married, “What we have is serious. We have to take it step by step. I am going through my divorce and he is doing same as well. But it is difficult to hide what we share. It is so difficult to even be apart for a minute. This is what I have been looking for all along. We are so similar. I know what he has been through and I know the whole story with his ex.
“He is a very caring man whose paramount interest is my happiness. This is different from what I have been used to. He gives me money, he supports me and he encourages my work. He tries to hype me all the time and I know he loves me deeply. This is different from what I used to have before,” she said.
Explaining why she is always drawn to older men, Rachael added, “It has to do with my background. I don’t flow with men who are younger. I lost my father at a very young age. Psychologically, I am comfortable with men who are much older than I am,” she said.
