Veteran actor, Pete Edochie, has confirmed the separation of his colleague, Chioma Chukwuka Akpota, and her estranged husband.
The actress somehow hinted to the public about the crash at a time as all her social media posts ended with maiden name.
She ended her posts with: “Chioma Chukwuka.”
Despite the rumoured separation, the movie star failed to debunk or confirm the reports about her marriage.
Appearing in an interview with media personality, Chude Jideonwo, Edochie frowned at the increase in divorce in the Nollywood industry.
The veteran actor said he was shocked by the news of Chukwuka’s broken marriage, stressing that people must understand that the marriage union is for better or worse.
He said: “If you come to our Industry today, most of our ladies who got married two to three years ago have all left their husbands.
“I was shocked that Chioma Chukwuka had left her husband, Ireti Doyle, Tonto Dikeh.
