10 Biggest Celebrity Divorces In Nigeria

Marriage is a beautiful thing and something we all look forward to. We all know that as much as there is joy and comfort to be enjoyed within the institution, there is still the heartaches to face, the lonely days when we might sit and wonder if we made the wrong choice to spend our life with that one person, that’s when the idea of divorce comes in.


The Nigerian entertainment space, though riddled with lovely marriages also has some grim tales- the unfavorable side we do not want to see, the separation and divorce. Here’s a list of 10 biggest celebrity divorces in Nigeria.
1. Osas Ighodaro and Gbenro Ajibade:

The rift started after Gbenro took to social media to slam the Nollywood actress, over “abandoning and neglecting their daughter”. At that time, people began to guess that all was not well with the couple and there was a crack in their marriage. It took a whilr, almost a year, precisely 10 months for the marriage to finally dissolve.
The couple however, say they are co-parenting and if social media is anything to go by, they seem to be doing just fine.
2. IK OGbonna ans Sonia Morales:

One of the hottest actors in Nollywood whose divorce stunned both his local and international fans. He and his sweetheart, Morales had gotten married and fans only found out on social media. Similarly, the break-up was announced on Instagram.
The son they had together was little reason for the couple to be together. They ended things on the 8th of August, 2019.
Here’s what Morales had to say about the divorce “This is a hard letter to write as I am pretty sure I will cry my way through this post. I know I should have said all these a long time ago, but back then, I was just weak and could not think straight because I was busy struggling to make things right the best possible way within and even beyond my capacities.
