BBNaija Season 9 winner Kellyrae has shared his journey through personal struggles and his bond with his wife, Kassia, in a heartfelt interview with Chude.
Kellyrae disclosed that before entering the reality show, he had lost all his money to betting, which plunged him into depression and overwhelming guilt.
During his darkest moments, he credited Kassia for standing by him and offering unwavering support that helped him regain hope and strength.
Kellyrae’s story highlights the resilience and the power of a supportive partnership.
He said: “I had some money, but because I wanted more, the money was not enough; I started gambling with it and then lost it all. I was depressed. Every night, I was awake, thinking. Then she was the one who came to my rescue.”
However, he also considered breaking up with her due to his inability to provide adequately for her.
“I was thinking one day; I called her and said, let’s just break up. I feel I don’t have what it takes to really care for you because I feel guilty most of the time that there are things I’m supposed to be doing,” he said.
The reality TV star also discussed his time in the BBNaija house, admitting that he kept his marriage a secret but remained true to himself throughout the show.
“Even if you lie on your bed for the rest of your life, trouble will still come. I think I prefer the trouble that comes with N60 million. The only thing I had to fake was that I was in the house with my wife; every other thing, I was just being myself,” he added.
