Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has sparked widespread discussion after making a playful remark about fellow actress Bimbo Ademoye during a red-carpet interview, suggesting she could be a potential romantic interest “maybe when she’s single”.
The comment was made when the actor was asked to name a female celebrity he could see himself dating.
In response, Timini Egbuson mentioned Bimbo Ademoye but quickly noted that she is currently in a relationship.
“Bimbo Ademoye, but she’s in a relationship. Maybe when that happens and she’s single, we can date,” he said during the interview.
The light-hearted statement quickly gained traction on social media, where fans debated the nature of the pair’s relationship and revisited their long-standing on-screen chemistry.
A secondary highlight of the conversation is the enduring public interest in the duo, who have worked together on several Nollywood productions including Breaded Life, Big Love, and Reel Love, projects that have often fuelled speculation about their off-screen bond.
Both actors have repeatedly maintained that they are close friends, despite frequent rumours linking them romantically. Their playful interactions on and off screen have continued to keep audiences intrigued.
Timini Egbuson is widely known for keeping his personal life private, rarely addressing dating speculation in public interviews.
Similarly, Bimbo Ademoye has also remained discreet about her romantic relationships, even as public curiosity around her love life persists.
The latest remark adds to a growing list of celebrity moments that continue to fuel conversations about relationships within Nollywood’s entertainment circle, particularly when long-time co-stars share visible chemistry.
While the comment was made in a joking tone, it has once again placed both stars at the centre of online discussions, with fans expressing mixed reactions ranging from amusement to curiosity.
