Nollywood actress and reality TV star Venita Akpofure has opened up about her dating life, revealing that she continues to receive attention from men despite being 39 years old. The mother of two made the revelation during a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, where she discussed her appearance and the type of men who approach her.
Youthful Appearance as an Advantage
According to Venita, her youthful appearance gives her an edge in the dating scene. "I am 39, but if I told you I was 28, you would believe me," she said during the podcast. The actress, who was previously linked to fellow reality star Adekunle, shared that she still attracts plenty of admirers, with many surprised by her actual age.
Venita explained that most of the men who boldly approach her are younger, suggesting that older men may be more hesitant because of her status and age. "I only get approached by younger men. They are more courageous than the older ones," she said, offering a cheeky description of what she believes younger suitors bring to the table.
'They Make Up for It with Bravery'
"What they don't have in their bank accounts, they make up for with bravery and audacity," Venita added, drawing laughter and mixed reactions from listeners. The actress's comments have sparked a wave of social media responses, with some users questioning her expectations and others defending her honesty.
Legit.ng compiled reactions from social media users. @LuLuck20446187 stated: "They just throw words recklessly and expect real guys to approach them after they have used themselves stupidly." @Iamskununzy noted: "What kind of guys will approach a 39 years old? Any man above 39 that approaches her is definitely interested in making her a side chic or second wife."
Venita's Message on Self-Love
The interview comes after Legit.ng earlier reported that Venita shared an unedited photo of herself, speaking on the need for individuals to love their flaws and exercise their strengths. Her reason for not editing the picture was to share with her fellow women that it's okay to celebrate their body flaws any way they feel. She added that she loves wigs and extensions but prefers her natural hair now, and she has grown to love every inch of who she is.
Venita Akpofure, a Nollywood actress and former Big Brother Naija housemate, continues to engage her audience with candid discussions about her personal life, appearance, and dating experiences.
