Nigerian music powerhouse Aituaje Iruobe, popularly known as Waje, has confirmed she is officially engaged, finally addressing months of speculation surrounding her love life. The 45-year-old singer revealed the news during a recent interview with Hip TV, though she kept details of her fiancé private.

Waje’s announcement comes after she openly shared her views about marriage during an earlier appearance on The Honest Bunch podcast, where she stated she could not settle with a man who is still struggling financially. She explained that age is no longer on her side, and she cannot afford to “build a man from the ground up.”

The singer also revisited the painful story of her early years as a teenage mother. She recalled how the father of her daughter denied the pregnancy and abandoned her, only resurfacing years later to apologise. Despite agreeing to his request for a DNA test, she said he never showed up again to take responsibility.

Waje revealed that becoming a single mother at a young age shaped her approach to relationships, pushing her toward partners who are emotionally and financially stable. She insisted that she has carried enough burdens in life and desires a partner capable of providing meaningful support.

The news of her engagement has sparked excitement among fans who have long admired her resilience, talent, and honesty about personal struggles. Many expressed joy that the singer has finally found happiness and companionship.

Even though she withheld details about her partner, Waje promised that the public would “meet him at the right time,” adding that she is currently enjoying privacy and peace. The singer also hinted that wedding plans may be closer than fans realise.

For now, the vocal powerhouse is basking in the warmth of a new chapter, one she says she is ready to embrace with gratitude and maturity.
