Popular Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has responded to swirling rumours about a possible split from her husband, fellow actor Frederick Leonard.
Over the weekend, Ovire posted a video of herself getting ready for a wedding event—noticeably without wearing her wedding ring. The clip was captioned, “Wedding guest. Transition 101.”
The absence of her ring caught the attention of fans, with one user, @HoldMart, asking, “Where is the ring??” This fueled even more speculation about trouble in the marriage.
Addressing the growing chatter, Ovire took to Instagram on Wednesday evening, writing: “No matter what room I step in, I’m coming in as ME,” subtly shutting down the rumours without directly confirming or denying them.
Rumours of tension between the couple first surfaced in 2024, when Ovire posted a solo Christmas photo in pajamas, raising eyebrows about their relationship status.
