Nigerian singer and songwriter Aituaje Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has officially confirmed that she is engaged, a revelation that has taken many fans by surprise and sparked widespread celebration online.
The music star disclosed her engagement during a short conversation with Hip TV, catching many off guard as she had previously kept her relationship life private.
“I am actually engaged,” Waje announced, keeping her statement brief and choosing not to disclose any further information about her partner or upcoming plans, leaving fans eager for more details.
Her unexpected confirmation immediately set social media buzzing, with fans, colleagues, and admirers congratulating her and expressing excitement over her new chapter.
Singer restates past views on marriage
Waje, now 45 and a proud single mother, has been vocal in the past about her standards and expectations when it comes to relationships and marriage, often sparking conversation online.
She previously made headlines after stating that she would not consider dating a man younger than her, a stance she said aligns with her personal values and life experiences.
The singer has also maintained that she does not wish to settle down with a man who is not already successful, emphasizing that her age and stage in life influence her decisions.
Speaking on the Honest Bunch podcast, Waje explained the reasoning behind her views, stating that she is no longer in a phase where she wants to “build with a man.”
“I can’t marry a man who is not successful. I am not in my 20s, so we can’t build together. A man leads by selling aspiration to me. I have to aspire to see him lead,” she said, reaffirming her long-held beliefs about partnership and leadership in relationships.
