TikTok personality Baba Talisha has addressed long-standing questions about his relationship with his partner, Miss Wanjey.
During a question‑and‑answer session on his Instagram Stories, a follower asked, “Are you married for real?”
Baba Talisha admitted he has not paid dowry or made the customary family introductions for Miss Wanjey.
He wrote
It’s not out of disrespect to the woman I love now; it’s because of a promise I made to the woman I once loved and lost.
My late wife may be gone, but the vow I made to her about her dowry still weighs heavy on my soul. Until I honour that, my spirit won’t rest. Some promises live beyond the grave.
The revelation came amid growing public interest in the couple’s relationship status, especially following the recent birth of their second child.
