Romance With Uti: Actress Beverly Naya Finally Breaks Silence

Recently rumors surfaced online that Big Brother All Star winner, Uti Nwachukwu was in a Hot sizzling romance with British-born Nigerian Actress, Beverly Naya.

According to several sources, they were spotted at events together and the chemistry was very obvious. A source even added that Uti was planning on walking her down the aisle soon.

Beverly who’s young budding career started with the lead role in the Movie ‘Home In Exile’ has gone on to star in “Weekend Getaway’ which also stars her “supposed hubby” Uti Nwachukwu, Genevieve Nnaji and Ramsey Nouah... She Also featured in Banky W’s 'Follow You Go' video.

She has been quiet about the alleged romance, but decided to break her silence recently by tweeting “This Insinuation is laughable..Pls lets not start a rumor…..My boyfriend wasn’t too happy seeing this…." 

She Said “Uti makes me laugh a lot…its always fun and games hanging out with him and nothing more." 

Clearly She has a boyfriend and its not Uti. Indeed it's safe to say the duo are nothing more than just friends, and dating obviously will ruin their friendship and professional relationship. 

Beverly is rather focused on her career (Acting). She is currently on set for her new musical film titled ‘In The Music’..... Those spreading the rumor should take note!

But seriously, let's face facts really, we all know Riri has it hot for Chris but is this for real, how long are you willing to let this go on? sometimes, we girls think through our nose, Rihanna is talented, not just pretty faced and beautiful, she is sexy and hot, i mean that girl is on fire, everyone wants to be with her but her heart belongs to someone whose attention belongs to another. 

I need your opinion on this one, seriously, what do you think of this situation?

Tunji Adeyinka, Managing Director of Connect Marketing Services, says that ‘‘Breaking The Mould is an inspiring mechanism to help women at various life stages of their lives - embark on a journey of self-belief so that they can know they can achieve anything.  The message of the African Tour by the Williams’ sisters will resonate with African women as a whole, who are often the champions of change and encourage more women to do the same. Indeed, we are proud to implement Breaking The Mould in Nigeria.”

Despite the high profile nature of these events, fans and followers of the dynamic duo have the opportunity to WIN special invites to the gala night, tennis clinics, and exhibition match. All any interested participant needs to do is like the NigeriaBTM page on Facebook (www.facebook.com/nigeriabtm) and also follow @nigeriaBTM on Twitter (www.twitter.com/nigeriabtm) for more details on how to WIN tickets.
