The 23-year-old Stephen went down on his knees to thank God for his good fortune, much to the delight of the audience and his fellow contestants. Nana Abena, a mother of five whose husband passed away years ago, has been single for several years and was looking for love on the show.

Despite the age difference between the two, Stephen and Nana Abena seemed to hit it off immediately. They exchanged phone numbers and planned to meet up after the show. Many viewers were impressed by Stephen’s confidence and charm, and some even praised him for being open-minded and non-judgmental.
