Businessman Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports
circulating suggesting a divorce from actress Rosy Meurer, insisting that no
legally recognised marriage ever existed between them.
In a detailed statement shared on his Instagram page on
Wednesday, Churchill described the claims as false and urged the public to
disregard what he called misinformation.
According to him, their relationship did not involve a court
or church wedding, but only an introduction ceremony.
He wrote, “The reports circulating online about a supposed
divorce between myself and Roseline Meurer are completely false. There is no
truth to them, and they should be treated as such.
“There was no legally recognized marriage. There was no
church wedding and no court wedding. What took place was an introduction.
Therefore, the idea of a ‘divorce’ is baseless from the outset.”
Churchill also questioned the authenticity of reports
suggesting ongoing legal proceedings, saying he was never formally served any
court documents and raising concerns about due process.
He further criticised the circulation of what he described
as inaccurate legal claims, suggesting that proper procedures were not followed
in presenting such information to the public.
“I am 100% sure that individuals without proper experience
in the media space are advising Rosy incorrectly, alongside legal practitioners
who operate under a mango tree without due process and claim to produce divorce
documents within 24 hours,” he said.
“Looking at the alleged hearing and judgment dates, I am
left asking: is this even possible in Nigeria? At times, it is necessary to
allow a man handle his responsibilities without interference, most especially
when you were carried along. That is part of his role and duty.”
The businessman also made remarks touching on past public
controversies involving his former marriage to actress Tonto Dikeh, noting that
issues from that relationship were personal and had since been resolved between
the parties involved.
He added that he had reconciled with Tonto Dikeh and
believes she is “in a better place,” while maintaining that external parties
were not responsible for resolving private marital disputes.
“If Tonto offended anyone, it should be me alone and if I
offended anyone, it should be Tonto. However, we have both chosen to forgive
each other. I believe she has changed and is now in a better place. … Tonto
wronged me and whatever existed between us was ours to resolve. No one
confronted her or fought that battle on my behalf,” he said.
Churchill also addressed perceptions around Rosy Meurer’s
public role in his life, stating that while she faced criticism, he disagreed
with narratives that exaggerated her involvement or positioning in his personal
matters.
“I do not agree with the narrative that Rosy “stood by me”
in a way that should now be exaggerated. While I acknowledge that she faced
public criticism, it is important to state that if she had not been there,
someone else would have occupied that position in my life. Issues within my
relationship should have been left for me to address, including defending her
publicly when necessary,” he concluded.
His statement comes amid renewed public attention after Rosy
Meurer recently posted a video on Instagram reintroducing herself without
Churchill’s surname or a wedding ring, describing her return to the public eye
as a “rebirth” and new phase in her career.
In the video, the actress apologised for her absence and
said she was stepping into a new creative era focused on growth and
storytelling.
