Nollywood heartthrob Fredrick Leonard has set social media abuzz after revealing that he once secretly dated fellow actor Ekene Umenwa.
The actor, known for his charismatic screen presence, opened up in an unexpected confession that’s now making waves.
“In his own words,” Fredrick shared:
“Some of my colleagues who noticed how I behave around EKENE UMENWA told me to approach her instead of just crushing on her, but they never knew I was already dating her.”
He went on to explain the private nature of their relationship, adding:
“I dated her for almost a year, but she never for one day allowed me touch her. She was always on fasting and praying. So I quit.”
Despite the physical distance, Fredrick had nothing but praise for the actress:
“I won’t lie, she is such a responsible and homely girl. My close friend used to envy me because of her good character. Until I told him she is a prayer warrior and no-go area, he laughed out loud and advised me to be patient with her—but I didn’t have that time.”
Wrapping up his heartfelt reflection, Leonard gave a rare compliment:
“Frankly speaking, her husband is such a lucky person,” he said.
The revelation has left fans with mixed emotions—some praising Fredrick’s honesty and others admiring Ekene’s strong moral stance and faith-driven lifestyle.
One thing is clear: this behind-the-scenes love story is a reminder that even in the glitz of Nollywood, real feelings, faith, and values still play a major role.
