There was excitement on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, when Apostle Joshua Selman, founder of Koinonia Global, made a surprise appearance at the birthday celebration of Sandra Areh, an interior designer popularly known as Selwoman, Lady Sandra, or Mama.
The Entertainment Reporter gathered that the cleric’s arrival instantly drew loud cheers from guests at the event, with many visibly surprised by his presence. During the celebration, Apostle Selman was heard referring to Areh affectionately and offered prayers for her as she stood beside him, a moment that sparked jubilation among attendees.
Sandra Areh has long been associated with Apostle Selman’s ministry and is widely known as a dedicated supporter and helper within Koinonia Global. Sources familiar with both individuals told The Entertainment Reporter that they have known each other since their university days at Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Kaduna State.
For years, social media users have speculated about the nature of their relationship, with rumours dating back to 2019. However, this public appearance has renewed conversations online. Speaking to The Entertainment Reporter, one attendee described the moment as particularly notable.
“This is the first time he’s not just coming to a venue but allowing himself to be captured on camera and, most importantly, shared online,” the attendee said.
Following the event, discussions intensified across social media platforms, with some observers interpreting the moment as a sign of a deeper personal connection. Others went further to speculate about the possibility of marriage, although no official confirmation has been made by either party.
Earlier in the day, online users had already been questioning why the pair—often linked by speculation—had not taken further steps, a conversation that gained more traction after the birthday appearance.
As of the time of filing this report, neither Apostle Joshua Selman nor Sandra Areh has issued a formal statement addressing the speculations. Nevertheless, the moment has continued to trend, reflecting sustained public interest in the personal lives of prominent religious figures.
