Nollywood actress and producer Laide Bakare has shared a rare glimpse into her personal life, revealing the rigid boundaries she maintains regarding dating and domestic privacy.

In a candid interview shared on Sunday, the screen star disclosed that she has become more guarded with her heart over the years, admitting that she rarely falls in love. According to the actress, her focus has shifted toward self-preservation and protecting the sanctity of her home.

One of her most striking revelations was her refusal to allow men she is dating to visit her personal residence. Bakare explained that her home is a sanctuary for her and her children, and she believes in keeping her romantic life entirely separate from her domestic environment until a relationship reaches a certain level of permanence.

“I do not love easily; I like,” she clarified, emphasising that she prioritises companionship and mutual respect over intense emotional attachments. “My home is my private space. I don’t believe in bringing every man I’m seeing into my house. It’s about respect for my space and my kids.”

The actress, who has been a staple of the Yoruba film industry for over two decades, noted that her perspective is born of experience and a desire to lead a drama-free life. Her comments have sparked an online conversation about the importance of boundaries for single parents navigating the modern dating scene.
