Looking back on how their relationship began, Rayal points out that their story is not a cinematic romance or a grand chase.

She added:
“Whether the room was filled with strangers or close friends, he had a gift for making people feel comfortable. He didn’t try too hard; he was just himself.”

@ndukwe_oluchi_abigail: “Which answer line would he use to call this name? Abi “Hello my name is Seyi Tinubu can I meet you” This line alone is terrible”
