Nigerian singer Temilade Openiyi, popularly known as Tems, has made a surprising revelation about her personal life. In a recent interview with Flow With Korty, the 28-year-old songstress confessed that she has never experienced love.
Tems shared her perspective on love, stating that it’s not a mindless feeling, but rather a deliberate choice made with open eyes. She acknowledged that she hasn’t felt anything for anyone yet, but hopes to experience deep and real love in the future.
When asked about love, Tems said, “I haven’t been in love. Loving someone for me is more of ‘I see you and I still want to be in your life. Even though you annoy me sometimes, I choose you and I choose you.”
She continued, “I would like to be in love, to experience something deep but really real, not blind. I don’t believe that love is blind, I think if you really love someone, you’re loving them with your eyes open.”
Tems distinguished between infatuation and love, saying, “I feel like people get infatuated, and they call that falling in love. If you’re blind, that is not love. Love is when you’ve seen the person, their flaws and all, and you’re like, ‘I still want it. I still want that.'”
With a laugh, she added, “I want someone to see my goods and be like, ‘Yeah, give me some of that.'”
