The actress cum producer has stated that she and the ‘Aye Late’ crooner were “cousins”.
“Pappy is family but I think he is a hot guy…We used to spend a lot of time together…He is family, he is my cousin. He is Gaisie, my grand mum is Gaisie and we are all from the same place,” she said.
Asked when she learnt of their family ties, Ms Nelsom said it was no secret.
“We’ve always known…ask him…so even if we were feeling each other that thing was just holding us back,” she said.
