Former Big Brother Naija season nine housemate Tunji Adeniji-Soji also known as Tjay has explained why he left his pregnant wife at home to go on the show.
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.”
“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,”
The reality star also revealed his wife received overwhelming support from friends, family and fans during his time on the show. TJay added:
“But I mean she had a lot of help, I would not lie, she had lots of help.
“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.”
