BBNaija Season 9 winner, Kellyrae has opened up on his darkest moments and how he lost all his money to gambling.
The reality TV star, while speaking with Chude Jideonwo, shared some personal struggles he experienced with his wife, Kassia before the entering the reality show and how she stood by him.
He disclosed that he had lost all his money to betting, which plunged him into depression and overwhelming guilt.
He also added that he at some point, considered breaking up with her because of how broke he was, but she resisted and came to his rescue.
He said: “I had some money, but because I wanted more, the money was not enough; I started gambling with it and then lost it all. I was depressed. Every night, I was awake, thinking. Then she was the one who came to my rescue.
“I was thinking one day; I called her and said, let’s just break up. I feel I don’t have what it takes to really care for you because I feel guilty most of the time that there are things I’m supposed to be doing.”
He also discussed his time in the BBNaija house, admitting that he kept his marriage a secret but remained true to himself throughout the show.
“Even if you lie on your bed for the rest of your life, trouble will still come. I think I prefer the trouble that comes with ₦60 million. The only thing I had to fake was that I was in the house with my wife; every other thing, I was just being myself,” he added.
