LAGOS, Nigeria — August 23, 2026 — Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Ricky surprised Sheba during a private conversation in the house after telling her that he is married.

The exchange happened on Day 26 of the season, during a discussion about Ricky's intentions toward Sheba and his broader strategy in the house.

According to Africa Magic's official BBNaija Day 26 live updates, the conversation followed an incident the previous night in which Sheba rejected Ricky's attempt to kiss her.

Ricky told her that he liked her, but Sheba remained skeptical and pressed him about what he was trying to achieve in the house.

The conversation then took an unexpected turn.

Africa Magic reported that Ricky showed Sheba a ring and told her that he was married. He also said that he had not originally planned to reveal the information to other housemates and that Abi was the only person who already knew.

Ricky further told Sheba that he usually presents himself as being far from marriage. According to his account during the conversation, his wife had allowed him to enjoy his time in the BBNaija house as long as he did not cross certain boundaries.
