Housemates of the ongoing Big Brother Naija Season 11, Goddessa and Araga, have stirred reactions on social media after sharing the first on-screen kiss of the show.

A video from the reality show’s live feed, circulated widely on social media, showed the pair kissing while lying under the covers.

The moment comes days after the two housemates were seen bonding in the house, fuelling conversations among viewers about a possible romantic relationship.

The romantic connection comes within a week after  the season 11 premiered, with 24 housemates competing for the N160 million grand prize.

The reality television show started on July 26 with the theme “Everything Is For The Taking.”

Reactions have continued to trail the development, with netizens expressing divergent views on the early romance between the two housemates.

One X user, Unwana (@Iam_sistabibi), wrote: “First kiss of the season. Goddessa and Araga.”

Another user, Ademola (@Ajagbe00), commented “When did ARAGA and Goddessa ship started and we don’t know #BBNaija,”

while Emerald Lily (@Lilian_Akin) said she preferred the pair to “gravitate towards each other naturally.”

Big Brother Naija, one of Africa’s most-watched reality television shows, is known for relationships, alliances and dramatic moments among housemates during the competition.
