Nigerian TikToker Jarvis has explained why she is yet to marry fellow content creator Peller, despite their engagement in December 2024.
During a recent TikTok live session, the 23-year-old revealed that the delay was partly due to Peller’s age and financial situation.
“I’m old enough to get married but his (Peller’s) age is slowing me down. If he were older than me by now, we’d have married. One day, Peller could change his mind and say I’m too old for him and it’s true. I don’t want to pressure him to get married at this age. No, that would mean I have evil plans for him. I want him to learn and see what life actually is,” she said.
Jarvis added that she intended to marry in three years but raised concerns about Peller’s unstable income.
“I’m still young and have a lot to achieve for myself, don’t cage me with marriage. Peller’s life wasn’t stable; he didn’t have a constant source of income. Peller’s income kept coming and going,” she noted.
Peller, however, rejected claims that age was the obstacle. Instead, he expressed fears that Jarvis’ parents could interfere in their relationship.
“It’s a lie. Amaka daddy can wake up one day and say to Jarvis’ mother, ‘I want to take Jarvis away from Lagos.’ They can take her at any time. She’s not safe. She (Jarvis) likes me so much, but she’s acting as if she’s up to 30 years old,” he said.

In May 2025, Peller disclosed during a livestream that he and Jarvis had agreed to abstain from sex until marriage, citing his personal values and upbringing.
The couple previously made headlines after a viral video showed Peller pushing Jarvis at a Seyi Vibes concert in Lagos.
Jarvis later clarified that Peller neither abused nor maltreated her, stressing that if he had, their relationship would have ended long ago.
Peller also defended himself, insisting the video lacked context.
Their relationship has continued to attract public attention, with both Jarvis and Peller maintaining that marriage will only happen when the time and circumstances are right.
