Nigerian model and media personality Denrele Edun has said that his efforts in relationships have often not been returned.
He added that love has not worked out well for him over the years.
The socialite revealed this during a recent episode of “The Moraya Show”, where he spoke about his struggles with love and why he has chosen to turn his attention to self-care.
Denrele explained that he usually gives a lot of affection but rarely gets the same treatment back.
He said many of the bonds he once valued did not end the way he hoped, which made him decide to focus more on loving himself.
He added that he does not believe he is the reason his relationships fail, describing himself as someone who is easy to love and always willing to show care and loyalty.
The media star recalled a recent relationship where he noticed that his partner often gave excuses whenever he made efforts to move things forward.

According to him, this pattern has followed him for a long time, with him offering commitment while the other person showed little response.
Denrele also spoke about his sexuality, saying he has experienced relationships with both men and women and feels fulfilled by those experiences.
He said the lessons from his past have helped him understand the need to value himself more and protect his emotions as he moves forward.
He said: “I have not really been lucky with love. People like us who have so much love to give to the world, we don’t really get it back in return. So, I have found it in different people and places, and I have realised that let me just love myself at this point.
“All my special attachments did not come out the way I would have loved it to. I have just realised that it is better I love myself. I am the easiest person to love. I have so much love to give.
“Recently, I was in a relationship with someone and I realised that once I make effort, people give excuses. That is what is happening in my love life all the while. While I’m giving clarity, they are giving me confusion. I will show commitment and they would not reciprocate. So, I realised that this is just convenient to the person.”
