Former Big Brother Naija reality star Angel Smith has become the centre of a major online controversy following reports that she has secretly married her girlfriend in the United States.
Viral Video Fuels Wedding Speculations
The rumours began circulating on January 13, 2026, after a video surfaced on social media platforms. The clip showed Angel and her partner, identified as Tunmie, in a relaxed and happy state, admiring what appeared to be wedding rings. The sighting of what looked like a marriage certificate in the video further ignited claims that the couple had officially tied the knot.
In the trending footage, Angel could be seen showcasing the ring, which she previously described in a 2024 video as "not demure but a rock." That earlier video, filmed with fellow BBNaija star Ilebaye Odinaya, had already hinted at an engagement, setting the stage for the current marriage rumours.
Netizens React and Point Fingers at Soma
The news has triggered a wave of diverse reactions from Nigerians online, with a significant portion of the conversation shifting blame towards Angel's former love interest, fellow BBNaija housemate Soma.
Many commenters suggested that Soma's past behaviour during their relationship was a driving factor behind Angel's current life choices. One user, Chocolatechomzy, commented, "Shame suppose catch am because wetin he do Angel no good... A lot happened & obviously wasn't Angel's fault." Another user, MTonai62045, dismissed claims that Soma was the reason, stating, "person wey be anywhere belle face and no home training."
The discourse also included strong opinions on Angel's sexuality and choices. Actress Angela Okorie reacted cryptically with "Nzuzu 101 ?," while other users expressed their disapproval, with queen__teeh stating, "God forbid I leave tibitibi follow my fellow woman."
History with Soma and Unconfirmed Reports
Angel's romantic link to Soma was a focal point during and after their time in the BBNaija house. Reports of their separation had previously made headlines. Soma himself had stirred conversations when, during an appearance on Channels TV, he notably dodged questions about the status of his relationship with Angel, diverting the topic and fueling speculation about a breakup.
Despite the viral nature of the wedding video and the intense public scrutiny, Angel Smith has not issued any official confirmation or denial regarding the alleged marriage to Tunmie. The reality star has only previously addressed her relationship status with Soma to clear the air, but her recent closeness with a female partner continues to spark debates about her personal life.
The situation remains a developing story, keeping Angel Smith's name at the top of social media trends in Nigeria as fans and critics alike await an official statement.
