Iyabo Ojo further showed her support by formally welcoming Juma Jux into their family. The singer was treated to some traditional Nigerian hospitality, followed by a night of celebration with Iyabo and Priscilla, which shows the family’s acceptance and excitement about the union.
Juma Jux’s love life has always been a topic of interest, especially within the East African entertainment scene.
Although the timeline of his relationship with Priscilla is not clear, their social media posts suggest they have been dating for some time.
The couple went public with their relationship in July this year, not long after Juma Jux ended his previous relationship with Tanzanian ex-girlfriend Karen Bujulu.
The breakup came after a video of Jux kissing Kenyan socialite Huddah Monroe went viral, leading to speculations about the end of his relationship with Karen.
Before Karen, Juma Jux was in a long-term relationship with Vanessa Mdee, a U.S.-based Tanzanian singer.
The two were considered one of East Africa’s golden couples, sharing a six-year romance that dominated entertainment headlines. Their breakup was a shock to many fans.
After the split, Vanessa moved to the United States, where she found love again with Nigerian-American musician and actor Rotimi. The couple now has two children together.
Juma Jux’s journey in love seems to have taken a positive turn. After witnessing his ex Vanessa Mdee find happiness in Nigeria, Jux has also found love in the same land.
This time, it’s with Priscilla Ajoke Ojo. Although he once admitted feeling hurt seeing Vanessa move on, Jux now appears to have moved on as well and found happiness.
The news of Juma Jux and Priscilla’s engagement has excited fans in both Nigeria and Tanzania.
Nigerians, known for their love of grand celebrations and beautiful weddings, are eagerly awaiting details of the big day.
The engagement has sparked interest across social media, with many expressing their joy and excitement for the couple.
