In a dramatic on-air announcement that has sent ripples across the media, GB News presenter Nana Akua has gone Instagram-official with her fiancé, finally revealing the mystery identity behind her engagement. During her daytime programme, Nana shared the exciting news alongside co-star Ben Leo, sparking immediate buzz on social media and among industry insiders.
On the show, a visibly delighted Nana Akua giggled as she announced her engagement. “It doesn’t look like there will be any more dating for me,” she said, holding up her left hand to proudly display the glittering ring on her finger. Her light-hearted remark was met with enthusiastic reactions from viewers who were eager to learn more about her intriguing partner.
Shortly after the live announcement, the engagement was confirmed on Instagram by her fiancé, Stephen Gillen. In a heartfelt post, he wrote: “So proud and love this woman so much. Nana Akua – my wife to be. Few big things and great surprises coming in the media soon guys. Wish you a blessed day.” Stephen’s message not only confirmed the engagement but also hinted at exciting future developments that could make headlines.
Ben Leo, caught by surprise during the live broadcast, later confessed his astonishment, saying, “I didn’t know about this. Nana has not told me about this. Are you joking? Wow! Who is it? Nana Akua is engaged and she just announced it live on GB News. In the world of tabloid Fleet Street, we say this is a bombshell!” His candid reaction underlined the shock value of the announcement, which has since become one of the most talked-about stories on the network.
Nana Akua went on to explain that her fiancé is none other than reformed gangster Stephen Gillen. “He was in prison many years ago, but he has completely reformed and turned his life around. He is a very tough guy, he’s a very hard man, yes,” she confirmed. Nana first met Stephen on GB News about two years ago when she interviewed him. Recalling that encounter, she said, “I remember looking, thinking, ‘Why is this man so shy? What’s wrong with him? Speak properly!’ Then a little while ago, he split up with his partner and we ended up going out.”
Now 52, Stephen has reinvented himself as the CEO and co-founder of Raw Media Creative, a digital media brand, and is committed to helping others through his online mentoring program. The engagement marks a significant personal transformation for both, blending a colourful past with promising new beginnings. As fans and colleagues eagerly await further details, it’s clear that Nana Akua and Stephen Gillen’s union is already being hailed as a true media bombshell.
