FORMER BBA HOUSEMATE, KEVIN PAM, WIFE PART WAYS
Kevin Chuwang Pam, winner of Big Brother Africa, Season 4, and his Tanzanian wife, Elizabeth Gupta, have parted ways. The two, who met and fell in love during the reality show, are no longer a married couple. In 2009 when Kevin started a relationship with Elizabeth many criticised them, saying they had no future together after the reality show. But they proved the naysayers wrong.
Kevin proposed to Elizabeth and they got married in 2011 at a ceremony held in Abuja. The couple lived in Abuja for a while before relocating to Jos, Kevin’s place of birth. They moved to Jos so as to invest part of the $200,000 prize money that he won in the reality show.
In Jos, Elizabeth opened a restaurant called ‘Gupsy Delight’ where she sold intercontinental, Tanzanian and other African dishes. The husband pursued his passion in entertainment and youth development tagged, ‘Jos Bring It On’. He also created awareness for the youths to change their outlook on life and political matters.
The couple had a robust relationship for the first five years of their marriage, but quietly called it quits thereafter. The handwriting was already written on the wall before their union packed up. In some statements that she shared on social media, Elizabeth complained of being tired of her role as a wife and mother. Many wondered if she was indirectly talking about personal struggles in her marriage or if she was just ranting about the worrisome burden of being a mother and wife. Not long after most of her troubled posts, she left her husband and relocated abroad.
One of the issues that allegedly wrecked the marriage was the fact that her husband wasn’t as financially buoyant as he used to be after he won the reality show. Their business also wasn’t going as smooth as planned and Elizabeth got tired of the marriage. They broke up in such a mature way that many still do not know that they are no longer married. Some of their fans noticed the crack in their relationship last year after Kevin kept on posting pictures of only himself and his children without their mother. Some fans even challenged him by asking after his wife. He only sent them her Instagram handle and kept sealed lips.
The two are very active on social media, but they keep a distance from each other. They don’t congratulate each other for their achievements or special celebrations. Elizabeth is back in Tanzania with her children and she is doing just fine. She completed a course at the Precision Air Training Centre in December, 2021 as a certified air hostess. Kevin on his part has continued with his job as an entertainer in music and acting in Plateau State.
