Former Big Brother Naija winner Mercy Eke has revealed that she financially supported several former partners, saying differences in financial status became a recurring challenge in her relationships.
According to The Sun on July 18, 2026, Mercy made the disclosure during a conversation with media personality Toke Makinwa, where she discussed the impact of fame on her personal life.
“I have dated guys that I have given a lot of money to, not one, not two, because they don’t have,” she said.
The entrepreneur said her success following her victory on Big Brother Naija brought widespread recognition and business opportunities but also made dating more complicated. She explained that maintaining genuine relationships has become increasingly difficult because of the attention that comes with being a public figure.
Mercy added that despite her thriving career and business ventures, her goal remains to find a stable and lasting relationship. She said her experiences have shown that professional success does not automatically translate into personal happiness, noting that her celebrity status and financial success have made it more difficult to find a partner who connects with her beyond her public image.
