Bambam advises couples to avoid sex until they are sure about marriage, stressing clarity and stronger foundations.
The actress reflects on her own marriage with Teddy A and faith-driven relationship choices.
Nigerian actress Bamike Adenibuyan, popularly known as Bambam, has encouraged couples to refrain from physical intimacy until they are confident about committing to marriage.
Speaking on the Echo Room podcast, the former Big Brother Naija star explained that keeping sex out of a relationship can help build a stronger foundation and ensure couples make decisions with clarity. “I would advise anybody dating, if you can keep sex out of the mix till you’re sure of getting married just do it,” she said.
Bambam also reflected on her own marriage to fellow reality TV star Tope “Teddy A” Adenibuyan, revealing that their relationship faced significant tests early on. She noted that both partners were evolving individually and questioned their compatibility, but they leaned on their faith to navigate the challenges. “We felt like the foundation wasn’t right. But I held on to God and His promises for my marriage,” she added.
The mother of two praised Teddy A’s personal relationship with God as the “sweetener” that strengthened their union. She further shared that her acting style avoids on-screen kissing scenes, focusing instead on authentic portrayals of relationships without compromising her values.
