Big Brother Naija Shine Ya Eyes housemate Angel Smith has admitted to cheating on her newly married partner, Tumininu.

In a voice note shared online by her husband of less than two weeks, she admitted that she cheated on him with Kayla and questioned what she would do about it.

“Yes, I fucking did it, and so what, bro? What are you gonna do about it?”

Tumininu also shared screenshots of his chat with Angel, in which she requested to return to Nigeria following their dispute.

Hours ago, Tumininu claimed that the reality star’s mother begged him to marry her daughter because they wanted to use him to obtain papers, but he ran away. Calling her mother useless, he slammed those who pushed him to marry the reality star.

It was reported that barely two weeks after they tied the knot, the couple hit a crack in their marriage after a clip surfaced of Tumininu having fun with another woman.

Adding to the speculation, Angel took to Instagram to share cryptic posts, hinting that she wasn’t one to mess with and suggesting she might be back on the streets.

Further fueling the speculation, Tumininu, via his Snapchat page, hinted at Angel cheating on him, as she shared a meme that read, “Lost all my hoes to prove to a hoe that I am not a hoe, just to find out she is a hoe”.

In leaked chat, Angel expressed her mixed feelings about their marriage, citing his finances, a lack of connection, and things happening around her partner as the reasons.

In another screenshot, Tumi asked if she wanted a divorce and complained about their lack of intimacy. Angel’s partner further revealed that she sold her chains to buy Angel a car, and Angel responded by questioning whether she had asked for the car.

Tumininu, had in a previous post, accused Angel of cheating on him, claiming that she slept with a lady she met on Hinge. The US singer noted how he did everything for Angel, spent over $100k since she arrived in the US and even spent $50k on her birthday.

In another post, he slammed the reality star’s mother, telling her to look for her daughter at her new girl’s house.

Their marital crisis is coming less than two weeks after they tied the knot.

The couple topped headlines as they tied the knot in an all-black ceremony on Saturday, March 27th, 2026, in the US. Angel, via her Snapchat page, shared clips from the intimate ceremony. In one clip, Angel was seen getting glammed up for her wedding, and another captured her showing off her ‘I Do’ slippers.

Expressing fear, the actress who captured how the police surrounded her residence very early on Tuesday, stated that she was never invited.

While calling on the public to hold the founder of Grace Nation International Ministry, Pastor Chris Okafor responsible if they don’t hear from her again, she accused the clergy man of orchestrating yet another attempt to arrest and imprison her this morning without her legal representative.


“I have police people in my house. I don’t know how they entered my house. They said they’re from Lagos. Chris doesn’t want to leave me alone. He has carried me to three different courts and more than seven police stations.

“They have surrounded my house. If you people don’t see me again, please hold Chris Okafor responsible for my disappearance”, she said.

Recall reports that the fight between her and her pastor began in late 2025, when a video of Chris Okafor’s engagement to Pearl Okafor went viral on social media.
