The actress appeared to acknowledge the conclusion of the divorce process in a post shared online, writing, “Thank You Jesus. It Is Done,” a message many followers interpreted as confirmation that the legal separation had been completed.

The post quickly attracted attention, with supporters celebrating what they viewed as a new chapter for the actress, while others questioned the public reaction to the end of a marriage.

The development marks another high-profile relationship discussion within Nollywood, where celebrity marriages often attract intense public interest due to the visibility of the individuals involved.

Ovire and Frederick Leonard’s relationship had previously drawn attention from fans, particularly following their wedding and public appearances together. However, details surrounding the circumstances of their separation have not been fully disclosed by either party.

The actress’s message has led to contrasting opinions online. Some followers offered words of encouragement and wished her peace, while others criticised the decision to publicly celebrate the end of a marriage.

One social media user wrote, “Thank you Jesus when married, thank you Jesus when divorced,” while another questioned why divorce was being presented as a moment of celebration.

Others defended Ovire’s choice, arguing that individuals have different experiences within marriage and that finding personal peace after a difficult period can be meaningful.

The conversation has also renewed broader debates around celebrity relationships, privacy and the pressure public figures face when dealing with personal challenges in the public eye.

Neither Peggy Ovire nor Frederick Leonard has released a detailed statement explaining the reasons behind the separation. The actress’s short message remains the clearest public indication that the divorce process has reached its conclusion.
