The celebrity chef explained that being in a relationship should not make people question a woman's ability to achieve great things through her own efforts.

She said women deserved to be celebrated for their individual accomplishments rather than having their hard work linked to the men they date or marry.

Speaking during the interview, Baci said:

“It is sometimes upsetting but I think that it just goes to show where we are as people and what the mindset is.”

She added that she was intentional about representing herself and other women, while creating opportunities for more women to succeed.

Baci is in a relationship with Nigerian music executive and entrepreneur Dapper, the founder of Dapper Group.

The couple had been together before the chef gained international recognition in May 2023.

That year, Baci attracted global attention after breaking the Guinness World Record for the longest cooking marathon by an individual.
