A Nigerian actor and TV Presenter, Gideon Okeke, has confirmed the end of his four years marriage with his wife, Chidera, after months of rumours of their disagreements.
It would be recalled that in 2018, the traditional marriage of Gideon and Chidera took place followed by their white wedding later.
Gideon, who came to the public eye in 2006 when he appeared as a contestant on the first edition of Big Brother Nigeria, confirmed the end of their four years marriage in an Instagram post.
TheNewsGuru.com (TNG) reports that in 2008, Gideon joined the cast of the M-NET TV series Tinsel on which he is a regular to date.
Gideon wrote while warning against pity party from fans
“You wouldn’t believe it if I told you that I’m separated from My marriage right? No you wouldn’t…so grab a seat. It is in the interest of clarity and a clear conscience that this becomes imperative.
But yea…Breakfast reach Me too. Las Las. It’s been a hard hot pill I’ve had to swallow, and boy…it sure humbles one. This PSA wouldn’t be so important (to Me), but for the trap that I find FAME to be sometimes. Gagged.
But as I look to the future…) pray for My BOYS. Such Lovely Boys. Pls put us All In your prayers… no pity party. They need Mum and Dad sane, sound and strong for the fulfillment of their best interests and we are working towards it. Hard! I thank GOD.
And I Thank You for rooting for Us. One Life…many stories. Pls don’t call , don’t text, as we work our way to a final dissolution. These processes take a toll on one as you may know. God bless.”
Recall that Gideon held a lowkey traditional marriage with Chidera sometime 2018.
The actor who shared photos of his traditional marriage on his Instagram page wrote in Igbo, “Anyi ebulu go mmanya bata Umubele Awka. Otokwaa gi I chiaaa.”
The traditional marriage of Gideon and Chidera held few months after he revealed that she is his girlfriend on her birthday.
In his post, he said whoever came up with the phrase “the beautiful ones are not yet born” lied because the love of his life is here.
He wrote; “A writer once said ‘the beautiful ones are not yet born’. Damn… somebody Lied.
“It’s a privilege to be a part of your day(s) honey. Its hard to keep a straight face when you look like ure just coming straight out of my prayers… (pinches self)�♂️ But girl, u damn sure make it easy to love. We all have it in Us. We just need The�
I love U. Happy birthday “baby-love” .
In 2016, Gideon also wrote a memo to his wife.
He wrote; “Dear Wifey… If we ever have a robust argument and I leave home briefly for some air….Walahi I swear, I’m not with another woman.
“I’m on a film set. Where all the worlds troubles don’t matter shit!
“I promise U wen I’m back…we’ll kiss and makeup real good.”
The actor hails from Abagana, Anambra State.
