Nigerian movie producer and actor Tchidi Chikere has reacted to the rumoured collapse of his marriage to Nuella Njubigbo.
The couple tied the knot in 2014 and welcomed their first child, a girl, shortly after. But rumours of a potential marital troubles surfaced a few weeks ago; after Sophie Williams, Chikere’s ex-wife, hinted that the union had crashed.
“Wetin dey happen to one love made in heaven?” Williams had written in the now-deleted post.
The pair had dismissed the rumours at the time. But shortly after the development, the couple has attracted doubt after they unfollowed each other on Instagram. Njubigbo further heightened the rumours after she removed her husband’s surname from her Instagram profile.
The movie star’s Instagram bio which previously read “mother and wife” has also been changed to “award-winning filmmaker, mum, CEO”.
Tchidi Chikere had on Saturday shared several posts suggesting that the marriage may be witnessing some challenges. “Pain will leave once it is done teaching you. His grace has brought me this far.. he is still with me,” he wrote.
On Sunday, the filmmaker appreciated those who have so far reached out to him to show their support. He also tackled his critics amid the rumours. “To those who have reached to me via phone calls and DMs and offered a word or prayer for my family, may God in his infinite mercy bless you all,” he wrote.
“To those who believe crap and judge what they know nothing about and a man they do not know and never came across, I wish you what you wish me. Life is good because God is still on the throne. It’ll end in praise. Shalom, I move.”
