Who is Aviva’s boyfriend, Stig?

Aviva’s boyfriend, Stig, is a popular Belizean rapper who goes by Stig Da Artist. At 30, he has released multiple singles and EPs and has his own wine label, Etre Vu. Getting on the plane, Aviva told viewers, “I’m putting a lot on the line, but Stig is 100% worth all the risk, and I just really hope that when we’re together, we click and we can start that future that I’ve always dreamed of.”

How did Aviva and Stig meet?

According to Aviva, she first met Stig online after he slid into her DMs. She explained, “My Aunt Spring lived in Belize for a while, and I went to go visit her. When I had got home, I posted a video. I tagged Belize as the location, and Stig saw it and messaged me.” She confessed, “While I was in Belize, I actually was introduced to his music, so I was fangirling a little bit.”

While Aviva and Stig started off as friends on social media, chatting on and off, she revealed, “Six months ago, things heated up and got a little bit more romantic.” She told viewers, “Even though I’ve never met him in person, I have completely fallen for him.”

Who is Aviva’s Aunt Spring?

Dare we say, the most shocking part of Aviva’s story belongs to her Aunt Spring, who revealed right off the bat, “I met my husband in Belize when I was 28. But two years ago, I turned on the news, and he was being arrested with another girl. And that’s how I found out that my husband was again cheating on me.” According to Spring, this wasn’t the first time her husband had cheated, so she is currently in the process of getting a divorce.

When it comes to Spring’s role in Aviva’s relationship, Aviva’s aunt revealed, “Belize is a small country. Everyone knows everything about everyone. So I have heard some things about Stig that are concerning, very concerning. They actually just did a big concert, like for Valentine’s Day, the first song that was performed was “Vicky,” and it’s about another girl.” According to Spring, “[Vicky] was at the concert. I was getting messages that they were there together and that they left together.”
