She said the pictures and videos of both of them circulating online were just promotional footage for the brand.
“He is married and has children, we are ambassadors for a new restaurant, the biggest Chinese restaurant in Africa, which is opening in Nigeria, so we were filming, hence the photos and dance,” she said.
Many misinterpreted the actress when she posted the promotional footage of the video with the caption; “#THEBULL X #KINGTONTO”
