“MY BABY CHOSE ME BECAUSE HE STILL WANTED A FAMILY” GBEMSO SPEAKS ON MC FISH’S LIFE AFTER ANITA JOSEPH

Gbemso, the current partner of Nigerian hype man and entertainer Fisayo Olagunju, popularly known as MC Fish, has explained why she believes he remained open to love following the end of his marriage to Nollywood actress Anita Joseph.

Speaking during an appearance with MC Fish on 93.5 Area FM, Gbemso said his desire to build a family remained one of the most important things to him even after his first marriage ended.

The conversation centered on second chances, relationships and why some people remain willing to love again after experiencing divorce or separation.

GBEMSO SAYS FAMILY REMAINED IMPORTANT TO MC FISH

The radio host asked MC Fish what he saw in Gbemso that made him willing to try another relationship after the breakdown of his marriage to Anita Joseph.

Before MC Fish could fully respond, Gbemso offered her own explanation.

She said she believed his continued desire to have a family played a major role.

“In my theory, I think that he wanted to have family at all cost,” she said.

Gbemso explained that even when the first marriage did not work, the desire itself did not disappear.

“HE STILL WANTED HIS OWN FAMILY”

According to Gbemso, MC Fish did not allow the breakdown of his earlier marriage to convince him that marriage or family life was no longer worth pursuing.

She suggested that he remained open to another relationship because having a family was still deeply important to him.

Her comments presented their relationship as part of what she views as MC Fish’s decision to begin again rather than permanently give up on love.

COUPLE SAY THEY MET ON OCTOBER 5

Gbemso also revealed during the interview that she and MC Fish first met on October 5.

She said they were approaching the first anniversary of that meeting.

The timeline is significant because the pair only became publicly associated months later.

Their relationship became widely known in early 2026 after photographs and videos of them appeared online.

RELATIONSHIP BECAME PUBLIC AFTER ANITA JOSEPH SPLIT

MC Fish was previously married to actress Anita Joseph.

The couple married in 2020 and publicly confirmed the end of their marriage in late 2025.

MC Fish and Gbemso subsequently became public with their relationship in early 2026.

Since then, their relationship has attracted significant social media attention because of MC Fish’s highly publicized previous marriage.

GBEMSO HAS DENIED BREAKING UP THE MARRIAGE

Gbemso has repeatedly denied claims that she was responsible for the breakdown of MC Fish’s marriage to Anita Joseph.

She previously said she met a man who was already separated and only agreed to pursue the relationship after becoming satisfied that his earlier marriage had ended.

That account remains Gbemso’s version of events.

She has strongly rejected accusations that she entered the relationship while MC Fish and Anita were still together.

SHE EVEN WANTED TO MEET ANITA JOSEPH

Gbemso previously revealed that she once suggested having dinner with MC Fish and Anita Joseph.

She said the idea came from an experience involving a relative whose new partner wanted to meet an ex spouse before committing to marriage.

According to Gbemso, she wanted similar reassurance that MC Fish’s previous relationship was truly over.

The proposed meeting never happened.

PUBLIC ATTENTION HAS FOLLOWED THE NEW RELATIONSHIP

MC Fish and Gbemso have become increasingly open about their relationship.

They have shared affectionate photographs online and appeared together publicly.

Gbemso has also referred to MC Fish using marital language on social media and has spoken positively about their relationship.

However, publicly available reports have generally continued to describe her as his girlfriend or partner.

MARRIAGE STATUS HAS NOT BEEN FORMALLY CONFIRMED

Although Gbemso has publicly used language suggesting marriage and has described herself in ways associated with being MC Fish’s wife, there has not been a widely documented formal announcement confirming a legal or traditional marriage.

For that reason, VNTV is describing her as MC Fish’s partner while reflecting her own comments about the relationship.

MC FISH HAS SPOKEN ABOUT LOVE AFTER MARRIAGE

MC Fish has also spoken publicly about moving forward after his marriage ended.

He has previously argued that failed relationships should not make people afraid of marriage itself.

He described marriage as an experience people can learn from, even when a particular relationship does not work out.

His recent appearance with Gbemso continues that message.

SECOND CHANCES BECOME CENTER OF CONVERSATION

The Area FM discussion eventually became less about the breakup itself and more about why people choose to begin again.

The host suggested that many men spend years concentrating on work, finances and stability before eventually deciding they are ready to build a home.

Gbemso’s response suggested that MC Fish already knew family was important to him.

From her perspective, the failed first marriage did not change that goal.

GBEMSO SAYS SHE BECAME PART OF THAT NEW CHAPTER

Gbemso described their meeting as the point at which MC Fish found another opportunity to pursue the family life he wanted.

Her comments were less about replacing his past relationship and more about explaining why he remained willing to commit emotionally after it ended.

She suggested that people should not assume a failed marriage automatically destroys a person’s willingness to love again.

THEIR RELATIONSHIP HAS FACED CONTROVERSY

The couple’s relationship has not been without public controversy.

Online disagreements involving Gbemso and Anita Joseph have previously attracted attention.

Anita’s lawyers also issued a legal warning concerning alleged defamatory social media statements.

Gbemso responded publicly and maintained her position regarding the circumstances of her relationship with MC Fish.

ANITA JOSEPH AND MC FISH HAVE BOTH MOVED INTO PUBLICLY DIFFERENT CHAPTERS

The breakdown of the former couple’s marriage became public after years of highly visible displays of affection online.

Since the separation, both sides have made public comments about aspects of the relationship.

MC Fish has increasingly focused his public appearances on moving forward and his relationship with Gbemso.

WHY THE INTERVIEW ATTRACTED ATTENTION

The interview attracted interest because it offered a more personal explanation for why MC Fish entered another serious relationship after divorce.

Rather than presenting it simply as a new romance, Gbemso framed it around his long standing desire for family.

Her comments also provide another perspective on the couple’s relationship following months of online controversy.

WHAT IS CONFIRMED

MC Fish and Gbemso are publicly in a relationship.

The pair became publicly associated in early 2026.

Gbemso has said she met MC Fish after his separation from Anita Joseph.

She has also said that building a family remained deeply important to him.

During their Area FM appearance, she said they first met on October 5 and were approaching their first anniversary.

WHAT REMAINS A PERSONAL CLAIM

Gbemso’s explanation of why MC Fish chose her represents her personal interpretation of their relationship.

Statements about what motivated him emotionally should therefore be understood as her account rather than an independently established fact.

Their exact formal marital status has also not been independently confirmed in the public reporting reviewed by VNTV.

SECOND CHANCE AT LOVE

For Gbemso, the central message is that the end of one marriage does not necessarily mean the end of someone’s desire for companionship and family.

She believes MC Fish remained committed to that goal.

And nearly one year after the pair say they first met, their relationship has become one of the most publicly discussed chapters of his life after Anita Joseph.
