Shaffy Bello Opens Up About Dating Younger Men: “I Did It for Fun, But That Season is Over”

Nollywood actress Shaffy Bello, 54, has revealed that she’s done dating younger men, citing a shift in her priorities.

In a recent interview on the “Dear Ife” podcast, Bello shared that her past relationships with younger men were purely for enjoyment, but she’s now focused on finding something more meaningful, like marriage.

What Changed?

• Priorities Shift: Bello explained that her outlook on love, relationships, and marriage has changed significantly with her age and life experiences.
• New Goals: She’s now seeking a genuine connection and marriage, unlike her past relationships which were focused on having fun.

Reaction to Younger Suitor

• Flattered but Discerning: Bello finds it flattering when young men slide into her DMs, but she’s particular about their approach and behavior.
• Badly Behaved Suitors: She pokes fun at some younger men who initiate conversations with a simple “Hi dear,” which she finds unimpressive.

Current Perspective

• Open to Love: Bello isn’t closing the door on love, but her criteria have changed. She’s looking for substance and a deeper connection.
• No Longer Seeking Fun: At 54, Bello is focused on finding a meaningful relationship, and her past experiences with younger men were just a phase.
