Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has said he is not a womaniser.
He made this known during a chat on The Culture League podcast, which featured footballer Victor Boniface and comedian Bovi.
According to the 38-year-old actor, he has been “technically single” for the past two to three years and has been more focused on his career than any romantic entanglement.
“A lot of people assume that I’m a womaniser. But I’m not. In the past two, three years, Nollywood has taken over my life in a way that there’s no room, except you will be the most unserious [to womanise],” he said.
He explained that his typical day ends late on movie sets, and by the time he gets home, he is too tired to even keep up conversations, let alone date multiple women.
“I admire my friends who can manage multiple relationships, but that life isn’t for me,” he added.
“I even wonder how some of my friends who womanise, date four or five girls simultaneously, have time to attend to all of them. Because from being on set all day to getting back tired at 11 p.m., I will now start chatting a lady? I don’t have the capacity for that. So, I’m not in the street as people may think I am.”
Egbuson, who is known for his “lover boy” roles in films like Big Love and Elevator Baby, said he understands why the public often sees him as a “bad boy,” but he insists the image is far from reality.
“I find it entertaining, but that’s not my real life,” he said.
Over the years, Timini has been linked to several female celebrities in and outside Nollywood, including Lydia Balogun, Sharon Ooja, Dorcas Fapson, and Bimbo Ademoye. His relationship with Lydia made headlines in 2021 due to their age difference, which sparked online drama.
Timini later addressed the matter, saying the relationship was mutual and both parties shared the blame.
Other linkups, however, have been dismissed by the actors involved, who maintained that their relationships were purely professional and based on film projects.
