A resurfaced interview clip has reignited one of Nollywood's longest-running will-they-won't-they storylines involving actors Timini Egbuson and Bimbo Ademoye. In the video, Timini was asked which co-star he would date if given the chance. After initially drawing a blank, he landed on one name: "Maybe Bimbo Ademoye, but she's in a relationship, so maybe when something happens, and she's single, we can."
How It Started
The public record shows the pair's on-screen chemistry refused to stay on screen. They have starred together in films such as The Kujus, Breaded Life, Big Love, Reel Love, Kamsi, Love Is Yellow and more, with their romantic scenes consistently drawing more reaction than the films themselves.
By August 2024, things escalated. Timini posted a video of the pair in bed together, hinting at a "big announcement," before later joking on Instagram that he had "made a baby" with Bimbo and asking fans to watch out for a naming ceremony. It was a joke wrapped around just enough ambiguity to set social media timelines on fire.
Bimbo's Playful Conditions
Bimbo has played her part too. In February 2026, weeks after reports of her alleged split from media personality VJ Adams, she jokingly set marriage "conditions" for Timini. She told him she would only marry him if his film Love and New Notes crossed ₦500 million at the box office, and that they would only have children once it hit ₦1 billion.
Recent Public Appearance
Then came last weekend. The pair arrived hand-in-hand at the Lafarge Africa rebranding ceremony in Lagos, walking in together, smiling, and chatting closely throughout the event. Bimbo captioned the moment "I got a parking lot and my favourite TV guy." Fans, predictably, lost it.
That moment bled directly into this week's developments. Bimbo posted new images from the event, including one where she and Timini appeared visibly cosy. When a fan commented, "If you guys don't get married, I will cry," she replied, "You will not cry in Jesus name," which is not quite a confirmation, but far from a denial either.
Fan Reactions and Ongoing Speculation
Add the resurfaced interview clip into that mix, and it is easy to see why fans are not accepting "just friends" anymore. Every few months, for over two years now, Timini and Bimbo have found a new way to make Nigerians ask the same question. The public waits to see whether this is a years-long slow burn finally catching up to itself, or just two actors who understand exactly how much attention this storyline generates and choose to exploit it every time.
