According to her, the mosque visit should not be interpreted as a change of religion.

She wrote:

“To my Muslim brothers and sisters, much love and respect to you all. Quick info!! About the old video circulating. My husband and I are Christian and we both have Muslim background.”

Jarvis stressed that her respect for Islam remains unchanged even though she now practises Christianity.

She added that both she and Peller appreciate people from different religious backgrounds.

“We also respect and love our Muslim brothers and sisters. We are ONE,” she stated.

The clarification came shortly after social media users circulated the old footage and claimed Peller had taken his fiancée to the Lagos Central Mosque to recite the Shahadah.
