The couple’s journey began on January 4, 2017, when they met and soon started dating. Their relationship blossomed into a highly publicised romance, culminating in a lavish traditional and civil wedding on February 14, 2020.
From the outset, their union faced intense scrutiny and scepticism. Critics openly doubted its longevity, with many placing bets that it wouldn’t survive beyond a few months, citing age differences and perceived incompatibilities. On their fourth anniversary in 2024, Anita defiantly addressed the naysayers, highlighting how doubters had wagered against them lasting even two months, yet 'God showed off and showed out.'
I may not have all the answers, but I’m choosing grace, growth, and faith - one step at a time. Calling a spade a spade, my marriage is over
The pair became known for their unapologetic public displays of affection – viral dance videos, romantic tributes, and extravagant gestures, such as the white Range Rover MC Fish gifted Anita for her birthday. They often clapped back at trolls, insisting their love was unbreakable.

Anita initially remained silent amid the speculation, but on December 22, she addressed the situation directly in an emotional Instagram reflection: 'Life has a way of testing our strength in ways we never expect, especially in marriage. Lately, I’ve been walking through a season of deep reflection, pain, and healing. I may not have all the answers, but I’m choosing grace, growth, and faith - one step at a time. Calling a spade a spade, my marriage is over. Ogbugianyi! Omere ka Anyi Mara ihe! Shallom!'
Just hours after the announcement, the actress found her direct messages overwhelmed by admirers. In a follow-up Instagram story, she appealed to suitors: 'I'm single, but I'm not searching, plz. You guys rest, don't flood my DMs, my phone will crash.'
