Nollywood actor Timini Egbuson has revealed that his demanding acting career has left him with little time for romantic relationships, claiming that he has not shared a bed with a woman in two years.
Key Highlights
- Timini Egbuson says he has not shared a bed with a woman in two years.
- The actor says long days on set leave little room for a love life.
- In February, he spoke about losing a woman he called his soulmate to his work schedule.
- His father died on January 1, 2026, prompting reflection on his priorities.
The actor made the disclosure in a viral video circulating on social media on Sunday, October 18, 2026, while addressing the perception that he is a womaniser.
“People assume I’m a womanizer, but I haven’t shared a bed with a woman in 2 years. Nollywood has taken over my life. I’m on set all day, return home at 11pm and take a shot of Martell to calm down before sleeping. I’m not really on the streets,” he said.
Timini explained that his filming schedule keeps him occupied throughout the day, with late-night returns leaving him with little energy to pursue relationships or maintain an active social life.
His comments have renewed discussions about the impact of fame and professional commitments on his personal relationships, particularly given his reputation for playing romantic leads in Nollywood productions.
Earlier Reflections on Love and Loss
The actor’s disclosure also echoes his previous comments about the challenges of balancing his career with his private life.
In February 2026, Timini spoke about losing a woman he considered his soulmate because he prioritised work and financial success over being emotionally available in the relationship.
Speaking during an interview with media personality JayOnAir, the actor admitted that his former partner wanted him to be more present, but his demanding schedule affected their relationship.
She has since married someone else, according to his account.
Timini said the experience taught him that providing financially was not enough to sustain a relationship, stressing the importance of time, communication and emotional availability.
The actor also revealed that the death of his father on January 1, 2026, made him reflect on the time he had spent prioritising work over family. He acknowledged that he wished he had been more available to his father while he was alive.
