Nollywood actress and reality TV star Venita Akpofure has revealed that she continues to attract romantic attention despite being 39, saying younger men are particularly bold when approaching her.
The actress made the disclosure during a recent episode of the Tea With Tay podcast, where she discussed her dating experiences, appearance and the kind of men who typically express interest in her.
According to Venita, her physical appearance gives her an advantage in the dating scene because she looks considerably younger than her actual age.
She explained that although she is 39, people could easily believe she was in her late twenties based on her appearance.
Venita Says Younger Men Approach Her
Speaking about the men who show interest in her, Venita said most of her suitors are younger men.
The actress attributed this largely to their confidence and willingness to make the first move, suggesting that older men may be more hesitant to approach her.
“I am 39, but if I told you I was 28, you would believe me. I only get approached by younger men. They are more courageous than the older ones,” she said.
Her comments offered an insight into her experiences in the dating scene and the differences she has noticed between younger and older men who attempt to pursue her.
Venita suggested that younger men tend to be more confident and adventurous when it comes to expressing romantic interest.
‘They Make Up For It With Audacity’
The actress went on to make a humorous comparison between the financial capacity of some of her younger admirers and their confidence.
According to her, while some of the younger men may not necessarily have the financial resources she expects from a partner, they compensate for it through confidence and boldness.
“What they don’t have in their bank accounts, they make up for with bravery and audacity,” she said.
Her statement reflects her observation that confidence can sometimes play a major role in attracting someone’s attention, even when other factors may be lacking.
The actress did not, however, suggest that financial status was the only factor she considers when it comes to relationships.
Venita’s Dating History
Venita is divorced and has two children.
The actress has previously been linked romantically with younger men, including fellow reality TV personality Adekunle, whom she met during the Big Brother Naija All Stars show.
Their relationship attracted considerable attention from fans and viewers during and after the reality TV programme.
However, the relationship ended shortly after the conclusion of the All Stars edition.
The former couple’s interactions on the show generated conversations among viewers, with many following their relationship and speculating about its future outside the reality TV environment.
Despite the end of that relationship, Venita has continued to attract attention regarding her personal life and dating experiences.
Venita Embraces Her Age
The actress’ latest comments also highlight her confidence about ageing and her appearance.
At 39, Venita said she believes she looks significantly younger, a factor she considers an advantage when it comes to dating.
Her comments also challenge some of the assumptions surrounding women and age, particularly in the entertainment industry, where female celebrities are often subjected to intense scrutiny over their appearance.
By openly discussing the attention she receives from younger men, Venita appears comfortable with her age and the interest she continues to attract.
A Popular Figure In Entertainment
Venita has built a career across acting, reality television and entertainment, becoming a recognisable personality among Nigerian audiences.
Her appearance on Big Brother Naija further increased her popularity, while her subsequent relationships and public discussions have continued to generate interest among fans.
Her latest revelation provides another glimpse into her personal experiences away from the screen.
While she acknowledged that younger men are the ones who most frequently approach her, Venita’s comments suggest that confidence and courage can sometimes matter just as much as age or financial status when it comes to making a romantic move.
