Popular Nigerian content creator and actress Kemi Ikuseedun, widely known as Mummy Wa, has opened up about her relationship status, revealing that her love for fictional characters may be the reason she is still single.
Speaking during a video broadcast, the comedian humorously admitted that she often finds herself developing feelings for characters in movies and television dramas rather than real-life men.
According to her, the situation is more common among women than many people realize.
“The reason why I am still single is because I went to go and fall in love with a fictional character. And it is not only me, a lot of women fall for fictional characters. But where are we going to see him?” she said.
The skitmaker specifically mentioned South Korean actor Lee Min Ho, whose portrayal of Gu Jun Pyo in the hit 2009 drama *Boys Over Flowers* earned him a massive global fanbase.
“I am almost 30, and I am still waiting for Lee Min Ho. What if I meet Lee Min Ho in real life and he is not the same as the person in *Boys Over Flowers*?” she joked.
“Honestly, I am still single because it is only fictional characters I keep falling for,” she added.
Her comments have resonated with many fans online, especially those who admitted to having celebrity crushes or becoming emotionally attached to fictional characters from movies and television series.
Kemi Ikuseedun rose to prominence through her comedy skits, particularly her collaborations with comedian Mr Macaroni, in which she plays the outspoken, dramatic wife, Mummy Wa. Over the years, she has expanded her career beyond skit-making, establishing herself as an actress, influencer, and digital content creator.
Beyond comedy, the actress has also used her platform to discuss social issues. In a 2023 interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo, she spoke about the prevalence of sexual harassment in society, emphasizing the importance of listening to and supporting victims who come forward with their experiences.
While her latest revelation was made in a lighthearted manner, it sparked conversations about unrealistic expectations in relationships and how fictional characters often shape perceptions of romance.
For now, however, Mummy Wa appears content to keep waiting for her ideal man — even if he happens to look a lot like Lee Min Ho.
