‘I’m currently single because I have trust issues’ – Wendy Shay opens up

In an interview on 29 October 2025, the Survivor hitmaker explained that her choice to stay single stems from deep-seated trust issues developed since entering the music industry.

“I’m single because when I came into the industry, things happened so fast that it became hard for me to trust. I have trust issues,” she admitted.

According to Wendy Shay, her experiences as an artiste have influenced the way she views relationships and the kind of partner she desires. She said her priorities have evolved, focusing less on looks and more on emotional and spiritual compatibility.

“I’ve grown to understand that there’s more to life than appearance. I’m a very soul-driven person. He has to be involved in my vision and understand where I’m going because I need someone who gets the work I’m doing,” she explained.

The award-winning performer stressed that any man in her life must be secure enough to handle the nature of her work.

“When I go on stage and I’m twerking, he needs to understand that it’s show business. I know men are very jealous, so he has to understand that what I’m doing is part of the job. When I come home, I’m your woman,” Wendy Shay noted.

Beyond emotional understanding, the singer said a strong spiritual bond is equally vital in her ideal relationship.

“I also need someone who will be there for me spiritually, be my head and cover me with prayers. I’m not really fixed on money because I believe in building something together,” she added.

The Rufftown Records star’s comments have since sparked conversation online, with many fans praising her maturity and self-awareness.
