Nollywood actress and United States military personnel, Grace Charis Bassey, has dismissed rumours claiming she is married to or engaged to actor Daniel Lloyd, describing the reports as false and misleading.
The actress made the clarification in a video shared on her Instagram page on Friday after a photo she posted with her colleague went viral, sparking widespread speculation about their relationship.
Addressing the rumour, Grace stated that she is neither married nor engaged to Daniel Lloyd and that there is no romantic relationship between them.
According to her, the photographs circulating on social media were taken during the production of a recent movie in which they both featured and had been taken out of context.
“It has come to my attention that a recent publication claimed I am engaged to actor Daniel Lloyd. This report is entirely false. I am not engaged or married to Daniel Lloyd, nor is there a romantic relationship between us,” she said.
