Eriata Ese Speaks on Viral Comment About Marriage
Former Big Brother Naija housemate, Eriata Ese, has set the record straight after her recent remark about marriage stirred mixed reactions online.
The reality star earlier came under fire when a critic questioned why she was flaunting a baby bump without being married. In her response, she wrote that “marriage is not a flex,” a statement that quickly caught attention and sparked debate about her views on family life.
But in a fresh post on Instagram, Eriata explained that her comment had been misunderstood. According to her, it was never a serious statement but part of her usual lighthearted banter with followers.
She stressed that she grew up in a loving home where she learned the true value of family and relationships. For her, marriage and healthy love are blessings, not something to dismiss.
Eriata wrote:
“Please ignore bloggers. I would never say ‘marriage is not a flex’ in a serious conversation. I grew up in a loving home and I know how important family is. If you know me well, you’ll see I always describe myself as a lover girl in my posts.
“Only a damaged person will say a good marriage is not a flex. I know the joy of being in a healthy relationship—it feels like a dream to come home to someone who truly values you.”
With this clarification, Eriata hopes to reshape the narrative and remind her followers that while she enjoys playful interactions online, her core values still hold marriage and family in high regard.
