Lagos, Nigeria — January 27, 2026 , Nigerian model, media personality, and entertainer Denrele Edun has spoken candidly about his struggles in romantic relationships, admitting that he has been “unlucky with love” and often gives more affection than he receives. The revelation came during a recent interview on The Moraya Show, where Edun shared personal insights into his romantic past and emotional outlook.
During the interview, Edun revealed that despite his generous nature and capacity for deep emotional connection, his efforts in past relationships have frequently been met with confusion instead of commitment. “I have not really been lucky with love,” he said, noting that while he invests wholeheartedly, many of his partners failed to reciprocate with equal dedication. This dynamic, he explained, has led to repeated disappointments that ultimately shaped his current view on love. Edun emphasised that his past romantic attachments did not play out as he had hoped. “All my special attachments did not come out the way I would have loved it to,” he said, adding that these experiences have taught him the importance of prioritising self‑love and self‑care. He made it clear that he does not believe he is the cause of these romantic setbacks, asserting that he is “the easiest person to love” and has “so much love to give.” The entertainer also reflected on a more recent relationship that ended in frustration. According to Edun, whenever he showed clarity and commitment, his partners often responded with excuses or indifference, leading him to conclude that this pattern of unreciprocated affection was more about convenience for the other person than genuine connection. “While I’m giving clarity, they are giving me confusion,” he said. In the same conversation, Edun also addressed questions about his sexuality, saying he has experienced relationships with both men and women and that he has had “the best of both worlds.” His openness about both his love life and personal identity reflects a broader willingness to engage honestly with topics that many public figures might avoid.
