Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has stirred widespread reactions after announcing the finalisation of her divorce from actor Frederick Leonard.
The actress shared a brief but emotional message on social media“Thank You Jesus. It is Done.”which many fans interpreted as confirmation that the marriage has officially come to an end.
The post quickly gained traction online, drawing mixed reactions from the public. While some followers congratulated her for moving forward and prioritising her well-being, others questioned the idea of celebrating a divorce, arguing that marriage should be treated with more solemnity.
Peggy and Frederick, who got married in a star-studded ceremony in Asaba, Delta State, in November 2022, had been the subject of separation rumours for months before the official confirmation.
Tensions escalated earlier this year when Peggy publicly accused Frederick of infidelity, alleging he was involved with a married woman who has children. She further claimed that although Frederick initiated the divorce, he failed to appear in court after being served.
In a dramatic turn, Peggy shared a video from an event hosted by comedian Funny Bone, showing Frederick alongside the alleged partner, describing their actions as shameless and calling him out for avoiding a scheduled court appearance.
Amid the controversy, Frederick appeared to take a different tone. In May, during his birthday, he shared a reflective message stating that he had discovered a new version of himself and was happier than ever comments many now believe were linked to the end of the marriage.
Peggy, on her part, has continued to project a message of self-empowerment. In previous posts, she hinted at choosing herself and prioritising her peace, a sentiment that resonated with many of her supporters.
The actress’s announcement has reignited conversations about relationships and societal expectations.
Supporters praised her courage, saying leaving an unhappy marriage is a sign of strength.
