According to our source, the light skinned screen goddess is right now in love with a Lagos Island big boy who is a big player in the telecoms industry and they meet regularly at Southern Sun Hotel, Victoria island, Lagos.
The source disclosed that the relationship has been on for the past few months. This development has equally led many to allege that Monalisa has relapsed into her smoking and drinking habits as she is regularly seen in the act. It further stated that nothing about her recent attitude shows remorse towards the ordeal her marriage is passing through right now.
Our source further alleged that her new found fashion to her manner of dancing erotically in clubs depict a woman who has been caged and wanted freedom for a long time. The actress who never saw her marriage breakup as a big deal believe that “people stumble and fall but you must pick yourself right up and keep moving.”
As gathered, she is right now seeing her future as bright without Dejo Richards, the man she once cherished and respected so much over the years but whose lifestyle pushed her out and crashed their marriage.
It would be recalled that Monalisa Chinda and Dejo Richard’s marriage which produced a daughter shattered recently due to circumstances beyond their control and both have since gone their separate ways while the divorce case is still pending in court.
