Love is often fleeting, even for celebrities.

Nigeria's entertainment industry is a world of glitz and glamour, where celebrities are known not only for their talents but also for their relationships that often capture the fans' attention.

While some of these high-profile couples have managed to stay in the spotlight, others have faded into obscurity, leaving fans wondering whatever happened to their favourite celebrity pairings.

In this article, we will take a trip down memory lane and revisit five Nigerian celebrities and their previous relationships:

Tonto Dikeh is no stranger to controversy when it comes to her relationships. The popular actress and entertainer have been involved in a number of high-profile romances that have made headlines, both during their beginning and their eventual end.

One of her most talked-about relationships was with Luxury jeweller, Michael Awolaja, known as Malivelihood, back in 2013. The couple was known for extravagant displays of affection, with Awolaja gifting Tonto expensive presents that she proudly showed off on social media.

However, their fairytale romance was short-lived, but Tonto's love life was far from over. She later dated Olakunle Churchill, whom she eventually married, only to divorce a few years later.
