Allegedly, Sade was in her mid-thirties when she was rumored to have an affair with a married man Martin O’Malley, the former Maryland Governor. Though they never spoke about their relationship out in public, rumors were flying around that stated that the two were definitely dating.

Allegations and Rumors

You might be thinking, okay, they dated, so what? What’s so dramatic about it, right?

Well, the thing is, Governor O’Malley had quite a reputation then, being a governor as well as a married man. He has four children with his wife, Catherine Curran O’Malley.

But there were claims that Governor O’Malley was married and had an extra-marital affair with Baderinwa. Not just an affair, but it was rumored that Sade was even pregnant after their affair rumors surfaced.

To protect Governor O'Malley's reputation and married life, Sade was forced to leave Baltimore along with her alleged unborn child and move to New York.

Moving to New York was a dream that suddenly turned into tragedy for Baderinwa. On July 23, 2014, while Sade and her reporting team were preparing a report about the flooding in Hackensack, New Jersey, Sade was hit by a car.

"I remember at the last second seeing this car come out of nowhere and hit me,"

Said Sade in an interview and added,

"And the driver just kept going. I flew ten feet into the air and landed in some water. I had one photographer who thought I was dead -- who saw me in the puddle of water. And the other photographer took off on foot after the driver."

It took her a long time and effort to recover, but Sade, being a fighter since her early days, never gave up.

But the story doesn’t end here.

Since the driver was never caught, nobody knows who was behind this life-threatening incident. It was speculated that Catherine, O’Malley’s wife was behind all this. Well, this is one of those stories that will remain a mystery.

Aside from these allegations, the anchor has not reportedly married or dating anyone.
