Olakunle Churchill has finally broken his silence on the swirling divorce rumours involving his wife, Rosy Meurer. The businessman addressed the viral reports that suggested Rosy had filed for divorce, expressing shock over the alleged documents circulating online. He accused certain legal practitioners of giving Rosy wrong advice regarding their sudden marital crisis.
Churchill also took the opportunity to clarify his current relationship with his ex-wife, actress Tonto Dikeh, amidst speculation of a possible reunion.
Divorce Claims Dismissed
In a lengthy statement posted on his official Instagram page, Churchill insisted that the reports of divorce were completely false. He explained that what the public referred to as a marriage was only an introduction ceremony, not a legally recognised union. Therefore, talk of divorce was misplaced.
"The reports circulating online about a supposed divorce between myself and Roseline Meurer are completely false. There is no truth to them, and they should be treated as such. There was no legally recognized marriage. There was no church wedding and no court wedding. What took place was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a 'divorce' is baseless from the outset," Churchill stated.
He questioned the authenticity of the documents being shared online, stressing that he was never served any legal papers. He criticised those advising Rosy Meurer, describing them as inexperienced individuals and unqualified practitioners who claimed to produce divorce documents overnight.
"I am 100% sure that individuals without proper experience in the media space are advising Rosy incorrectly, alongside legal practitioners who operate under a mango tree without due process and claim to produce divorce documents within 24 hours," he added.
Churchill also questioned the supposed legal process and hearing dates, calling them unrealistic within the Nigerian legal system. He acknowledged that Rosy faced public criticism during their relationship but rejected the narrative that she stood by him in a way that should now be exaggerated. He stated that another woman would have occupied the position if she were absent.
"I do not agree with the narrative that Rosy 'stood by me' in a way that should now be exaggerated. While I acknowledge that she faced public criticism, it is important to state that if she had not been there, someone else would have occupied that position in my life," Churchill said.
The businessman explained that any woman entering a relationship with a man who already has a child must understand that co-parenting issues remain between the parents.
Relationship with Tonto Dikeh
Addressing the growing rumours that he might be returning to his ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh, Churchill provided fresh insights into their current relationship. He disclosed that they have chosen to forgive each other for their past wrongs, adding that she is now in a better place.
"If Tonto offended anyone, it should be me alone and if I offended anyone, it should be Tonto. However, we have both chosen to forgive each other. I believe she has changed and is now in a better place," Churchill said.
He emphasised that matters involving his child with Tonto Dikeh were strictly between the two of them, and no third party should interfere.
Churchill's statement has now put a spotlight on the rumours, clarifying his stance on both his current relationship with Rosy Meurer and his past with Tonto Dikeh.
Background
For days, social media was awash with claims that Rosy Meurer had filed for divorce, a story that gained traction after the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram on 24 April 2026. This sudden distancing immediately fuelled growing whispers suggesting he might be paving the way for a reunion with his former wife, actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh.
Earlier, Tonto Dikeh set social media abuzz with a post about her prayer request to God. The mother of one shared her family portrait online alongside several prayer requests, with the estranged couple placing their hands on their son King Andre during his birthday celebration held a few months ago. Fans reacted excitedly to the post, with some asking whether Churchill had proposed again based on the nature of her prayer points, while others expressed joy and prayed that she would reunite fully with her estranged husband.
