Biography
Ayomide Iwasokun was born on September 2, 2001. She was born in Ondo State and raised in Lagos, Legit.ng reported in July 2025, and she celebrated her 24th birthday inside the Big Brother house, Channels TV reported.
Her mother runs a food shop at Computer Village in Ikeja, Legit.ng reported. Mide said in her entry video that her dream was to grow her mother’s business if she won. She also called herself stubborn, saying she once fell out with her father, left home and never looked back.
She went to The Apostolic Church Schools in Ketu, Lagos, and then to the University of Benin. She has called finishing her degree one of the proudest moments of her life, Legit.ng reported.
Career
Mide worked as a mixologist in Lagos before the show. “I am a mixologist, so I’m trying to launch a cocktail brand,” she told Zikoko in October 2025. She now runs that brand, Orangebar NG, and her X profile lists her as its CEO.
Acting was the plan from the day she left the house. “A lot of acting, because that is what I started to have interest in in the house, so I feel you guys should just watch out for me being an actress,” she told Ebuka on her eviction night, Channels TV reported.
She got her break within a year. Premium Times listed Ayomide Iwasokun in the cast of Funke Akindele‘s The Four: No One Fights Alone on August 10, 2026. “Proud to be part of this one,” Mide wrote on X the same day. The film opens in cinemas on December 11, 2026, after a London premiere at the Odeon Luxe Leicester Square on November 29.
Fashion and beauty pay the bills in between. BellaNaija featured her plaid co-ord style in February 2026, and Zikoko said in June 2026 that she had built “a decent career” as a fashion influencer. She attended Lagos Fashion Week in October 2026 and fronted a campaign for the itel A300+ phone on Instagram in November 2026. Her Instagram has 184,000 followers.
Big Brother Naija
Mide entered BBNaija Season 10, “10/10”, on July 26, 2025, as one of the first six housemates in the house. “I have the personality for Big Brother,” she said, Legit.ng reported. She was tagged “Certified” and called herself a heartbreaker and an authentic Lagos girl.
Her start was quiet. “In that house with 28 other housemates, very, very loud personalities,” she told Pulse Nigeria. “It takes me time to kind of warm up and, you know, explode.”
Bright Morgan changed that. He told her early that he had a girlfriend outside the house, and they set boundaries, she told Zikoko. “I didn’t expect to, you know, build that bond,” she said. They kissed at a pool party in week two, Zikoko reported, and the “BriDe” ship became one of the season’s main stories.
Bright’s eviction on September 20, 2025, hit her hard. She kissed him goodbye and said she couldn’t pretend to be fine, Premium Times reported. “He was one person who had my back in the house,” she told Legit.ng. A housemate’s advice pushed her to play harder in her last week. “It’s time to show these people that my story here is more than just Bright,” she said.
She was evicted on September 28, 2025, in week nine, alongside Zita and Rooboy. She had 5.62% of the vote, the highest of the three, Channels TV reported. “My journey started very chill. I didn’t expect to go as far as I did. I’m grateful,” she told Ebuka. Imisi went on to win the season a week later. You can see every winner on our list of BBNaija seasons.
Controversies
Her biggest row was with Zita in the kitchen in August 2025. Mide asked Zita to help with the cooking, an argument started, and Zita walked towards her with a pot and knocked the knife out of her hand, Legit.ng reported. Fans argued over who was in the wrong.
Mide gave her side to Pulse Nigeria after the show. “No matter what someone says to you, you don’t physically try to hurt that person,” she said. She added that they had talked it through. “Right now we’re cool.”
Bright’s relationship outside the house also followed her. His American girlfriend posted angrily about the romance, and Bright said he had ended things with her, Legit.ng reported. Mide kept out of it. Her line on her friendship with Bright was simple: “We’re very cool,” she told Zikoko.
Personal Life
Mide and Bright tried to make it work outside. They walked the red carpet together at a Yves Saint Laurent event in Lagos on December 10, 2025, Legit.ng reported, and she called their bond meaningful but complicated.
It didn’t last. Less than a year after the season ended, Mide confirmed she had called it quits, Zikoko reported in July 2026. The split played out in public, and she asked Bright to remove the tattoo of her name from his wrist.
She said on entry that she had been single for about three years. “I’m single for now, but I’m always in a relationship or situationship,” she told Legit.ng.
