Following Peggy Ovire’s removal of her husband’s name from her Instagram bio, there has been increased speculation regarding a potential breakup between Nollywood actors Frederick Leonard and Ovire.
On Thursday, checks of her Instagram page showed that Leonard’s name had been removed from her profile.
Both parties have not publicly addressed the ongoing rumors of marital problems that accompany this development.
As of the time this report was filed, neither Ovire nor Leonard had responded to the rumors of their separation with an official comment.
In recent months, the couple—who got married in 2022—has also conspicuously avoided going out in public together and hasn’t sent each other birthday wishes on social media.
When Ovire posted a Christmas picture of herself in pajamas without Leonard in December 2024, rumors of a rift began to circulate. When she uploaded a video of herself getting ready for a wedding celebration in May 2025—this time without her wedding band—more rumors were stoked.
Actor Yul Edochie of Nollywood has refuted reports that he and his second wife, Judy Austin, are no longer together.
There have reportedly been rumors for several months that the Nollywood celebrities are no longer together due to marital problems.
After the pair stopped sharing their romantic moments on social media, the rumors were further stoked.
But in a shocking Instagram post on Wednesday, Yul declared his love for Judy on her birthday.
The actor also posted a video of herself praising Judy along with a caption.
“Happy birthday to you, Okwulu Okalisia, Ijele Isi Mmili ji Ofor, Nwunye Odogwu, and Ijele Odogwu,” he wrote. My love, judyaustin1
