Popular Nigerian singer, Douglas Jack Agu known better as Runtown, may be officially off the market, as a video surfaced online showing his South Sundanese and supermodel girlfriend, Adut Akech showing off her supposed engagement ring to her excited friends inside a car.
The South Sudanese-Australian supermodel, Adut Akech can be seen in the video that has since gone viral, rocking what looks like a diamond ring that was reportedly given to her by Runtown. It’s unclear when they got engaged, but in recent photos and a video shared by Adut on her Instagram, it seems the lovebirds who are on vacation at Disneyland, got engaged over the weekend. Her friends could not get enough of the massive rock as they congratulate her, from the video shared on Instagram on Wednesday.
Although no official statement has been released yet from both Runtown and Adut Akech, the two have continued to flirt on social media, commenting on each other’s posts, as they sparked off speculations of a possible romance.
We cannot tell when and where the two may have met, but from all indication, they started off as friends, before setting off the romance. It is also possible they are two or less than two years into their romantic relationship.
We suspected that when Runtown deleted all his photos on his Instagram page, he was up to something, and Adut Akech was clearly part of his reasons, and we are happy they are both together…mad oh!!!
This would be the first engagement for Runtown and also for 20-year-old Adut, but Runtown already has a son with his now ex-girlfriend, Selena Leath, whom he met in 2015 in the United States while shooting a music video titled: “Bend Down Pause”. The pair’s relationship has produced a son called Zamar, who was born in June 2017 in Los Angeles, in the United States.
For Adut, nothing much is known about her previous relationships, if there was any, and considering that she is just 20 and the nature of her work, this may be her first serious relationship that is about turning into a marriage!
Just last year, the South Sudanese supermodel took to her social media handle to share with the world how she almost ended her life, after losing some close family members. She said she had to put off all things, including work and return to her family house to take proper care of herself, and that singular act of being with family saved her life.
This was the piece she wrote narrating how she overcame depressions:
“On a personal level 2019 was the worst year of my life for me Adut Akech the human and not Adut the model.
I started off 2019 with a mindset that I was just going to put myself first and be happy. But that was not the case at all. After losing some family members I went into dark place, I got really depressed and I started losing myself.
I started becoming numb to everything. It got really hard for me to express any emotion and the people around me started noticing. It became really hard to express my excitement and gratitude for all the amazing things happening with
my career.
When I noticed the change in myself due to my depression I knew I had to get professional help. I started seeing a therapist. I knew it was time to put mental health first, it was time to heal by allowing myself to feel pain and to grieve properly. It was time to start protecting my energy. I started getting rid of toxic habits and negative people in my life.
But with everything that was happening in my personal life and with my career it was all too overwhelming and my anxiety got really bad. To a point where I was having panic attacks every night for months. I decided to take time off work. I took a two month break to be home with my family and deal with my mental health properly and not in hectic environment.
I felt depressed to a point of wanting to end it, but for my family and myself I had to fight what I could say was the hardest battle of my life. Every day was a struggle but I did everything I could to get a better mental state of mind.
I started feeling better and I started seeing things clearer.
Biggest lesson I learned after all this, is the importance of letting go of all things toxic. Don’t hold on to toxic relationships because of comfort, or how long you’ve know the person or the type of relationship ya’ll have. Always put yourself, mental well-being, peace and sanity first.
I’ve been growing and evolving everyday. I’m at a point in my life where if someone or something is not bringing positivity into my life it has to go. 2020 is very personal ! 🙏🏾 I share my journey because I know someone somewhere is going through the same thing I want them know they’re not alone,” she had said
