- Jerry Smart Ekele, a Nigerian man, fears that interior designer Sandra Areh may find it difficult to find a spouse as there have been public rumors that she is in a relationship with Apostle Joshua Selman.
- Although both parties deny any relationship and insist their connection was purely professional, Ekeler said many men now consider her the apostle’s partner.
- He urged Selman to provide clear clarification, arguing that the speculation was hurting Alley’s chances with real suitors.
Nigerian man, Jerry Smart Ekele has spoken out about concerns that interior designer Sandra Areh may be unmarried amid speculation surrounding her relationship with popular pastor, Apostle Joshua Selman.
The controversy intensified after Apostle Selman reportedly called Sandra Are “my love” during her birthday celebration on December 9, 2025. While many social media users took this as confirmation of a romantic relationship, Selman and Alley have since publicly clarified that their relationship is strictly professional and based on mutual respect within their respective departments.
Despite the clarification, public perception persisted, causing Jerry Smart Ekele’s Facebook post to go viral. He worried that public confusion would negatively impact Alley’s dating prospects, saying:
“As things stand, other men who should be looking at her as potential suitors already see her as the apostle’s wife. In fact, many people online believe they are already married. This confusion makes me uncomfortable. We cannot afford to think of this elegant woman as a sacrifice.”
The man urged Apostle Selman to decisively clarify his marital status, stressing that lingering uncertainty is delaying Ms Are’s chances of finding another potential partner as suitors believe she is unavailable due to intense rumours.
