She said, “My taste in men is very weird. I like young people; I don’t like old people. I like men with long hair and earrings. I just like someone who is visually appealing. Gone are the days when you were looking for a God-fearing man. Are you even God-fearing yourself?”

“My taste in men is in a class of its own. It’s not because I act like a broke woman; I’m very bougie. I like good things. Any man that isn’t Eurocentric, I’ll find it difficult to connect with because I’m a fine dining girl. You won’t catch me on a date at an amala spot.”

According to the actress, any potential suitor who wants to court her must be well-traveled and exposed to different lifestyles.

“To court someone like me, you must be well-travelled and understand diverse lifestyles. That way, I don’t have to spend time explaining what I want or need,” she concluded.

Despite her specific preferences, the mother of four shared that she remains open to love and would consider a relationship if the right person comes along.

In a 2023 interview with Television Continental( TVC), Lolo1 revealed why her marriage ended.

At the time, she said, “For me, life happened. A lot of times, people go into marriage with only a little understanding of what they’re getting into. They don’t have a clear picture, and unfortunately, their lives unfold during the marriage, making it a make-or-mar situation. I think that’s what happened to me.”
