Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has sparked fresh reactions online after sharing a cryptic message on her Instagram Story that read, “Thank You Jesus. It Is Done.” Although the actress did not mention what she was referring to, many social media users believe the post is connected to the reported end of her marriage to fellow actor Frederick Leonard.
The post came amid ongoing reports about the former couple’s separation. However, Peggy did not mention Frederick Leonard by name or confirm that the message was about her divorce. The actress later shared another post from her colleague, Angela Eguavoen, who celebrated the new chapter in her life. Angela wrote, “My queen is free!! Hallelujah.” The message added more fuel to the online discussion. Supporters praised Peggy for staying strong through the difficult period. However, some critics believed such moments should remain private.
How It All Started…
The divorce comes after months of public drama between the former couple. Peggy had earlier accused Frederick Leonard of having an affair with a married woman with children. She also claimed he delayed the divorce process after asking for it himself. According to her, he failed to appear after being served court papers.
She later shared a video showing Frederick with the alleged woman at comedian Funny Bone’s event. Peggy called them shameless and urged him not to miss the customary court hearing scheduled for June 23. Around the same period, Frederick posted that he had discovered himself and was happier than ever. Shortly after, Peggy shared her own message, saying she had chosen herself and was thankful to God.
Peggy Ovire and Frederick Leonard got married in a glamorous ceremony in Asaba, Delta State, on November 19, 2022. During their marriage, Peggy once said patience helped her become Mrs Leonard. Frederick also described her as the only woman he could not live without. Earlier this year, Peggy stirred reactions with a post asking women what they would do if they discovered their partner was sleeping with a married woman. Although their love story has now ended, Peggy’s latest post suggests she is ready to move forward.
Her message has continued to generate mixed reactions, with many wishing her peace and happiness in this new phase of life.
