“It’s been a long time coming, and having to do this with you is one of the best decisions of my life. First of all, introduction,” he wrote.

The identity of his partner however remains unknown.

In July 2024, the movie star had expressed uncertainty about marriage. Same year, he disclosed that he had not been in a relationship since 2008, and claimed he was still single because he hadn’t found anyone who “likes me”.

In April, Falz disclosed he remains single at age 34 because he hasn’t found anybody that “likes me”.

“I’ve not found anybody that likes me. In all sincerity, it’s incredibly tough to have a healthy, loving family life and be in entertainment,” he said while speaking with media personality Chude Jideonwo at the WithChude Live event.

“Not knowing how to navigate that coupled with feeling like I don’t want to scatter things as resulted in me staying away.

“Some people would say I’m running away from commitment but it’s one thing to know you’re not prepared for commitment and it’s another thing to deceive yourself and mess things up for yourself and the other person. It’s me just being conscious.

“I’ve never been heartbroken. If you don’t put your leg inside water, can you drown? I’ve been giving small heartbreak though.

“In a romantic way, I’ve never told somebody ‘I love you’. I’m not devoid of emotions, I have felt and told someone I really like them, but not that I’m in love. Maybe it borders on being conscious and not wanting to go all in.”
