Geneviève is not married. However, she had at least revealed the fact that the man of her dreams would be someone confident and one of her best friends. Although, it was often rumored that she had been with popular personalities as well as artists including Ramsey Nouah and D’banj.

Things changed when Genevieve accepted that she had no intention of settling down with another celebrity, the reason being the chaotic lives that celebrities lead.

The photos she shared with a man named AJ Cham, who was almost thought to be her brand new husband, were actually not “about to be her husband”. This rumor had started when a few sources claimed that she had secretly married someone in Portugal. She has managed to keep her love life away from all kinds of controversy.
