Fitness enthusiast and reality TV star Uriel Oputa has shared a touching part of her private life with the public in a vulnerable YouTube video.

Uriel, notable for her love of fitness and healthy eating habits, bared her feelings to the world in a video shared on one of her platforms.

Why Uriel Oputa is single

While speaking, she explained why she has been single over the years and how it has affected her. The socialite mentioned that her mother’s health over the last 10 years has been a major factor in her current relationship status.

She pointed out that having suffered dementia and a stroke, her mum has gravitated from being an adult into being like a child, which only makes her and her brother responsible for her.

How Uriel's mum's health affected her relationships

She noted that the demanding nature of her mother's health is the major reason why she is unmarried. Uriel also mentioned that she lost two relationships because it was too much for her partners to handle.

At some point, she thought of moving her mother in to live with her, but her then partner did not buy the idea.

Ultimately, Uriel mentioned how negative comments about her singleness used to affect her mentally. However, she has grown thick skin, as many do not understand her story.

"Hey Uriel, if you’re seeing this, please know that any man who is accepting of you but isn’t accepting of your family is not for you. Anyone who is kind to you and mean to others is not a kind person. So it’s not you, it has never been you. It’s them."
