In a recent candid interview, Pere has opened up about his feelings for Mercy Eke revealing that she was his ideal choice when he entered the Big Brother house. This revelation came during a tell-all conversation with Uriel, one of his BBN (Big Brother Nigeria) colleagues.
However, what makes this admission interesting is the timeline of their connection. While Pere and Mercy had not initially formed a close bond during their time in the Big Brother house, they only truly connected in the latter stages of the show. Once they did connect, the chemistry between them became palpable, leaving both fans and fellow housemates surprised that it took them so long to come together.
During Pere’s time in the house, he had shown interest in Alex, sharing that he found her to be the only girl in the house with whom he had a physical connection. Meanwhile, Mercy had declared that she had a boyfriend and was not looking to get romantically involved with anyone. However, as the show neared its end, the two housemates began to draw closer, even sharing kisses onscreen.
Contrary to Pere’s revelation in his recent interview, just three days ago, it was reported by Kemi Filani that Pere and Mercy had unfollowed each other on social media. The reasons behind their decision to unfollow each other remain undisclosed, leaving fans curious about the sudden shift in their relationship.
This unfollowing on social media has added an unexpected twist to the narrative. Since leaving the Big Brother house, both Pere and Mercy have been vocal about their connection. Pere’s recent admission that Mercy was his ideal “spec” during the show reaffirms the authenticity of his feelings while in the house.
While this interview was recently released, it seems like it was carried out some weeks back at least. This shows that the interview could have happened before the unfollowing spree between Mercy and Pere.
