Nigerian actress Priscilla Ojo has addressed questions about the age gap between her and Tanzanian singer Juma Jux, saying it doesn’t impact their relationship.
Speaking with Pulse Nigeria, she revealed that she is 24 years old while Juma Jux is 35, but emphasized that numbers don’t define their bond.
Priscilla explained that what truly matters is the emotional connection and how they interact with each other. She admitted that she didn’t even know his age when they first met, noting that he looked youthful and carried himself with confidence.
She also highlighted that spending time together allowed her to focus on their relationship rather than the age difference. The actress added that they don’t always act according to societal expectations of their ages.
“I tend to act more mature than people expect, while Jux is playful and easygoing,” she said. The couple enjoys making TikTok videos and having fun together, much like close friends.
Priscilla concluded by saying that the age gap isn’t an issue for her, despite the frequent discussions online, stressing that their connection is what truly matters.
She said: “This age thing. To be honest, to me, I feel like age is just a number. And as long as it’s not so crazy, crazy, like I mean. But I feel like age is just a number. And it starts from here, the heart.
“When I met him, I didn’t even know he was like his age. Like, he looked very young. He dressed very nice. He looked, you know, very young. Likewise. And yeah, we’ve got to meet and story. I don’t see the age like that. I don’t.
“Because with us, we don’t even act our age. I don’t act like I’m 24. It tells me I act so mature. He doesn’t act like he’s 35. He acts like, you know… you see us doing TikToks, having fun, just being ourselves.
“So yes, that’s it. I don’t really see the age difference as a problem, the way some of you say it though.”
