Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has opened up about her reconciliation with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill. She also revealed how the experience now helps other women heal from painful relationships.
Since making peace with Churchill, hundreds of women have contacted her. Many wanted to know how she learnt to forgive after years of pain and conflict. Although she could not respond to everyone, Tonto reached out to women whose stories reminded her of her own.
According to the actress, she has helped at least 10 women reconcile with their exes. She said the women are now finding peace and building healthier co-parenting relationships. Tonto described the experience as God turning her personal story into “a tool for restoration.”
The actress also shared a message for people struggling with bitterness.
“Forgiveness is never for the person who hurt you; it is for you,” she said.
Tonto added that true closure does not come from people but from God. Her reconciliation with Churchill came in January after almost 10 years of public battles, hurt, and broken communication. Churchill later thanked her for becoming an amazing mother to their son.
Meanwhile, the former couple reunited publicly during their son’s 10th birthday celebration in February. Tonto praised Churchill for being an amazing father and wished him well. The actress married Churchill in 2015, but their marriage ended after two years.
Today, their journey appears to have taken a new turn through forgiveness, peace, and co-parenting.
