Popular Nollywood actress and model, Beverly Osu, has opened up about her dating preferences, revealing why she gravitates toward older men rather than dating men her age or younger.
Speaking during a candid interview with media personality Chude Jideonwo on his YouTube show, Osu explained that older men are more likely to meet her emotional and financial expectations. According to her, she enjoys being pampered, receiving attention, and spending meaningful time with her partner—qualities she believes are more commonly found in older partners.
“I still date men who are older than me,” she said, “but the older men that I have dated were just my boyfriends. There was nothing like a serious relationship between us.”
Osu clarified that while she has dated older men, they were not sugar daddies, and her relationships were not transactional in nature. However, she was honest about her desire for financial support and emotional care in relationships.
“I still prefer dating older men because I want them to give me money and feed me,” she admitted. “I love attention and quality time with a man. I don’t know how to pretend to love somebody, and I don’t want to be indebted to any man.”
The actress also opened up about a past experience involving a married man, saying the relationship made her uncomfortable due to her inability to fake emotions or hide her feelings.
“Dating another woman’s husband has never worked out for me,” she said. “I don’t want to be another woman’s sadness.”
Osu’s frank remarks have sparked conversations on social media about relationship dynamics, emotional honesty, and societal expectations placed on women in romantic partnerships.
