Linda Ikeji Lifestyle

The blogger cum entrepreneur has been serving as an inspiration to millions of young Nigerian girls and women and even to those in other parts of the world. While her success story continues to motivate her fans, many of them are not privy to the details surrounding the series of hardships she passed through, during her struggling years.

Born in a low income earning family, growing up was arduous for her, and Linda was almost assaulted sexually by a rich man while trying to fend for herself.

She may get married in a not-too-distant time; however, her previous relationship wasn’t a good one, though it was fruitful as she got to be a mother from this failed romance. Linda Ikeji had an affair with Sholaye Jeremi, who is a businessman in Nigeria, and they both met for the first time in 2015 at Wheatbaker Restaurant, a local diner.  Soon afterwards, they started a relationship.

Linda and Sholaye often discussed marriage and raising a family, but their relationship hit the rocks all of a sudden. Though the pair tried to mend their broken affair in 2016, the attempt proved futile. The following year, as both Linda and Sholaye were not in any relationship, they used a new approach to fix their ailing affair.

They started dating again and even discussed marriage having their own child. But when Linda became pregnant, Sholaye dramatically changed his attitude towards his partner. Once madly in love, the couple then became estranged, and Linda Ikeji finally let go of the affair.

Linda was delivered of a baby boy after nine months of pregnancy. The child was christened Jayce sometime in September 2018. She sees Jayce as “the greatest blessing of her life”. The boy is only a few months old but has already become a celeb in Nigeria’s blogosphere owing to his caring mother and his charming looks.
