"Everything was provided for in the show and the ladies think life will be that way. Once the show ends, they might realise Eric is a busy man," he said.

He further divulged that Eric paid him Sh 3.5 million as the creative director of the show.

International model Monica Ayen emerged as the winner of the controversial show beating other seven more contestants from across Africa.

Eric made the announcement through his social media pages.

“I cannot wait to make beautiful babies with you. You are not only a supermodel, but you possess a super heart. You compliment me, baby. Furthermore, you complete me, my love. Thank you, South Sudan, for giving me a queen, for making me a King,” he said. 

As for Ayen, she has no problem with Eric cheating on her.

According to Ayen, it would not be a shocker to her if she found Eric with another woman on a bed as he is too funny hence too easy for him to woo any woman.

“I wouldn’t be surprised if I caught him with another woman. He is a comedian, he is too funny he can take you to bed. For a woman, it’s easy to seduce a man. I wouldn’t be too hurt,” she said.
