Media personality Denrele Edun has spoken candidly about his personal love life, revealing that he has struggled to find lasting success in romantic relationships.
Denrele made the disclosure during an interview on The Moraya Show, where he reflected on love, commitment, and his decision to prioritise self-love.
“I have not really been lucky with love,” he said. “People like us who have so much love to give to the world, we don’t really get it back in return.
“So, I have found it in different people and places, and I have realised that let me just love myself at this point.”
According to Denrele, many of his past emotional attachments failed to meet his expectations, prompting a shift in perspective.
“All my special attachments did not come out the way I would have loved it to,” he said. “I have just realised that it is better I love myself.”
He also spoke about recurring challenges with commitment and emotional investment, noting that his efforts were often not matched by his partners.
“I am the easiest person to love. I have so much love to give,” he said. “Recently, I was in a relationship with someone and I realised that once I make effort, people give excuses. That is what is happening in my love life all the while. While I give clarity, they are giving me confusion.
“I will show commitment and they would not reciprocate. So, I realised that this is just convenient to the person.”
Denrele further addressed his sexuality, saying he has had relationships with both men and women over the years.
“I have had the best of both worlds,” he said.
Denrele Edun is a well-known Nigerian television host, actor, model, and dancer who began his entertainment career in the mid-1990s. He has built a reputation for his distinctive fashion style, bold personality, and longevity in the Nigerian entertainment industry.
In previous interviews, Denrele has shared insights into his personal life, including lessons learned from past relationships, describing one former same-sex relationship as particularly challenging but instrumental in shaping what he now seeks in a partner.
