In a celebratory public update posted on her personal social media accounts, Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire announced that her marriage to fellow screen star Frederick Leonard has officially ended. The statement expressed immense gratitude that the intense judicial divorce processes have reached a final conclusion.
The high-profile Nollywood couple originally tied the knot back in November 2022 after navigating a highly publicized, long-term relationship. However, systemic cracks appeared early in the union, culminating in public petitions before a traditional customary court where issues regarding infidelity were heavily alleged.
A legal breakdown published by Modern Ghana verified the absolute finality of the split, quoting the actress as stating plainly: “Thank you Jesus. It is done. I’m finally free.” A comprehensive feature by the Guardian Life desk traced the long-running courtroom drama, noting that Ovire had previously challenged her spouse to “attend a scheduled customary court hearing” to ensure the separation was done and dusted.

The dissolution of one of Nollywood’s most visible celebrity marriages highlights the intense pressure placed on public figures when their private vulnerabilities are aired online. With the legal proceedings completely finalized, both parties can now separate their professional brands from the shadow of their domestic disputes.
