BBNaija’s Yusuf Still Open to a Future With Bells

Published on September 23, 2026

Yusuf says Bells’ mannerisms and family background drew him in on BBNaija S11 and that they will talk about the relationship outside the house

Former Big Brother Naija Season 11 housemate Yusuf said in a Lush interview after Sunday’s eviction that fellow ex-housemate Bells first caught his attention through her mannerisms and family background, not appearance alone.

“I found her exceptionally intriguing. Her mannerisms were something I was not used to. Then I found that she came from a very peculiar family,” Yusuf said.

As a writer, he wanted to understand her better. Talks inside the house became more frequent.

“And just like that, conversations after conversations, we grew closer. I was drawn to her and I just found myself always talking to Bells. And then she’s a very beautiful lady,” he said.

Viewers had already marked the pair as one of the season’s watched connections.

Asked whether the relationship would continue outside the house, Yusuf said they still needed to talk.

He said they had had ups and downs and that he respected Bells. “We need to have a conversation. We are going to have a conversation eventually. But yeah, we’re open to exploring things.”

On social media, Imabongoolalekan wrote: “Wow I love what I hear now my in-law Yusuf handsome guy love you both forever.” Kay8_mandy said: “They both speak well, have a good command of English. I wish you both all the love you wish for yourself.” Happymoremabvira asked why the interview stayed on Bells when Yusuf had already said in earlier chats that he liked her.
