Tunji “Tjay” Adeniji-Soji, a former housemate from Big Brother Naija season nine, has explained why he left his pregnant wife at home to attend the program.
Along with Handi and Shaun, Tjay, a 33-year-old physician, was recently forced to leave the house. He and his wife welcomed twin boys during his fourth week on the show.
The reality star said in an interview with media that he and his wife found it “difficult” to decide to be on the show.
“It was difficult for both of us,” Tjay admitted. “I thought the show would air after delivery, but the pregnancy timeline changed.”
He said despite her initial reservations after their long conversation, she gave him the green light to participate in BBNaija.
“She said ‘okay, fine there is no point really going backwards now’, although it was very difficult for her. She just preferred me to focus on my dream. She also said she was going to sort things out,” he said.
The reality star also revealed his wife received overwhelming support from friends, family, and fans during his time on the show.
“But I mean she had a lot of help, I would not lie, she had lots of help,” he added.
“A lot of fans reached out, my friends supported us, family was also there. So she was not in any way unsupported or lonely. Like I said, I always like to praise women who support their men in their dreams, it is what my wife did and it is an amazing show of strength.”
Handi, TJay, and Shaun were evicted on Sunday, and the show is now left with six housemates.
Live with Purpose, Love with Passion. Remember to be happy
One ❤️❤️❤️
