Veteran Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello has opened up about her love life, revealing that her days of dating younger men are behind her as she now desires something more serious marriage.

In a candid new interview, the 54-year-old actress acknowledged that younger men are often attracted to her, a fact she finds “flattering” and something she once “owned” confidently.

However, she was quick to clarify that those relationships were merely for fun and not what she’s looking for at this stage of her life.

“No, I wouldn’t do that anymore,” Shaffy said when asked if she’d still date a younger man. “That was a phase, and I’ve moved on.”

Having been married for 25 years from 1995 to 2020 and raising two children, Shaffy Bello says she’s now ready to embrace marriage again, but with a different mindset. This time, she’s looking for something meaningful, mature, and lasting.

The actress, known for her elegance and class on-screen, has been an advocate for women’s empowerment and freedom of expression, often challenging societal expectations around love, age, and relationships.
