Kcee Opens Up on His Past Romance with Ebube Nwagbo: "We Were Close to Getting Married"
Afrobeats star Kcee has opened up about his past relationship with Nollywood actress Ebube Nwagbo, revealing that their romance was once the talk of the town. In a candid interview on the Tea With Tay podcast, hosted by Temisan Emmanuel, Kcee shared how their relationship dominated the headlines before social media became as prominent as it is today.
“Me and actresses were always headlining the papers. I love actresses back then. Who wouldn’t?” Kcee admitted with a smile.
The ‘Limpopo’ crooner reminisced about his time with Nwagbo, revealing that they were incredibly close to tying the knot. Their relationship was highly publicized, with the media frequently covering their every move, especially during red carpet events where the two were often spotted sitting at the front row together.
“Our relationship was everywhere; Ebube Nwagbo. Our relationship was always on the front covers of newspapers,” Kcee said, adding, “We were close to getting married. Whatever that happened, happened.”
A Relationship That Was "Everywhere"
Kcee’s openness about their relationship sheds light on the intense media attention they received during their time together. In an era before the rise of social media, celebrity relationships were often given more prominence in traditional media, and Kcee and Nwagbo’s romance certainly did not go unnoticed.
Despite the media frenzy and speculation surrounding their romance, Kcee did not go into the specifics of what caused the relationship to end. What remains clear, however, is the connection they shared, and the fact that they were once seriously considering marriage.

Kcee eventually married his wife Ijeoma in 2010, with whom he shares two children. Meanwhile, Ebube Nwagbo has remained single over the years, with the media often linking her romantically to various men, including Ogbonna Nwankwo, Emmanuel Emenike, and Ray Emordi.
Opinion: Fame, Love, and the Weight of Public Scrutiny
It’s fascinating how the dynamics of fame and love can shape relationships, especially in the entertainment industry. Kcee’s reflection on his romance with Ebube Nwagbo reminds us of the pressure celebrities often face when their personal lives are laid bare for public consumption.
While the media loves a good headline, relationships are rarely as perfect as they appear on the front page. Kcee and Ebube’s story seems to have been one of love, hope, and dreams of a future together that ultimately didn’t come to fruition.
In today’s age of social media, it’s even more important for public figures to guard their personal lives from prying eyes. But despite the challenges they might have faced, Kcee's candidness about the past highlights how love, even when it doesn’t last, can still hold a special place in one’s heart.
It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most public of romances are the ones that end in quiet reflection and lessons learned.
What do you think about celebrity relationships? Do you think the media attention adds pressure, or does it just come with the territory of being famous?
