However, reacting to the criticism via her social media page, she insisted that she would not reject love because she is older than a guy.
She went on to note that two popular Nollywood actors, Stan Eze and his wife Blessing, walked down the aisle not so long ago despite their age differences.
Speaking via a series of posts on her Instagram page, Uriel, wrote; “I’m Nigerian British. I will never reject love because of my age.
“I deserve happiness. I won’t reject a caring man because I’m 5 years older.
“Pls use Stan Eze and Blessing as a perfect example.
“You won’t steal my happiness. Never!
“You guys really think I owe you explanations.
“Ok.. Boy meets single girl, single girl meets caring guy who loves her cooking.
“Single girl feels protected. Single guy loves single girl’s heart and funny personality.
“Single guy and girl didn’t think it was a crime to fall for another single person.
“The End.”
Groovy, who is in the center of the controversy on his part reacted to Uriel’s post by tagging her on his Instagram story with love emoji.
