Fashanu took yet another plunge into a relationship
when he found Rachel, who rose on the wings of her ex’ efforts to stardom. The
news of Fashanu and Rachel’s hush-hush romance, which later became public
knowledge, was met with mixed feelings.

Now that they are head-over-heels in love with each
other, hope Rachel has a cordial relationship with Fashanu’s ex, Abigail Igwe
and her daughter, Adaeze Yobo?

So
much was revealed during the messy fight between Fashanu and Abigail. That must have painted some pictures on the
minds of people.

Rachel
quickly dispelled that. She explained of her ‘sweetheart’: “Most of the things
painted about John Fashanu are really not the reality. It is the same as in my
case. In the world of showbiz, some will say good things about you and others
the contrary. You just need to keep your values up and do your best.”

Will
wedding bells ring soon? Rachel played safe and said, “I am not keen on
re-marriage yet. Truth is, marriage is not something to rush into. Experience
has taught me that you have to weigh various components before coming to the
point where you accept to marry someone. I believe in taking things step by
step, get to know each other better first, then taking the step further when
the time is right.

the relationship he has with his children, very commendable.”
