In an update published by Daily Post Nigeria, the Nollywood ‘power couple’ Peggy Ovire and Frederick Leonard are facing intense scrutiny after Peggy removed her husband’s name from her Instagram biography. The move, often considered the ‘digital death knell’ for modern marriages, has sent shockwaves through the Nollywood fan community.
The couple, who wed in a lavish ceremony in late 2022, have been a favorite among fans for their seemingly perfect ‘movie-like’ romance. However, eagle-eyed followers noted that not only has the name been deleted, but recent solo vacations and a lack of anniversary posts have further fueled speculation that the union is in crisis.
Validating reports from Gistlover and Pulse Nigeria confirm the digital shift. Pulse noted that ‘fans are worried as the Leonard name disappears,’ while Gistlover claimed that ‘insiders suggest a major disagreement led to the sudden change.’
Echotitbits take: In the Nigerian celebrity ecosystem, the ‘Bio Wipe’ is rarely an accident. Peggy Ovire is a savvy social media user, and she knows exactly what message this sends to the public. Unless a ‘damage control’ video appears in the next 48 hours, this could be the end of one of Nollywood’s most beloved romantic pairings.
