Recent circulating reports suggesting a divorce between businessman Olakunle Churchill and actress Rosy Meurer have been vehemently denied by Churchill himself. In a clear statement aimed at dispelling what he terms 'misinformation,' Churchill insists that the very notion of a divorce is unfounded because no legally recognized marriage ever existed between them. He elaborated that their union was marked solely by an introduction ceremony, distinguishing it sharply from a formal court or church wedding.
The reports circulating online about a supposed divorce between myself and Roseline Meurer are completely false. There is no truth to them, and they should be treated as such.
Churchill has also raised serious questions about the authenticity of any claims of ongoing legal proceedings. He asserts that he has never been formally served with any court documents, casting doubt on the due process followed in presenting such information. He expressed skepticism regarding the speed at which divorce documents were allegedly produced, suggesting that individuals lacking proper media and legal experience might be misadvising Meurer and operating outside established legal frameworks.
There was no legally recognized marriage. There was no church wedding and no court wedding. What took place was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a โdivorceโ is baseless from the outset.
Furthermore, Churchill took the opportunity to address lingering public discussions surrounding his previous marriage to actress Tonto Dikeh. He emphasized that the issues from that past relationship were personal and have since been amicably resolved between him and Dikeh. He stated that they have both chosen to forgive each other, believing that Dikeh has moved on to a better phase in her life. Churchill stressed that while external parties might comment, the resolution of private marital disputes remains a matter for the individuals involved, asserting that any past grievances were between him and Dikeh alone.
If Tonto offended anyone, it should be me alone and if I offended anyone, it should be Tonto. However, we have both chosen to forgive each other. I believe she has changed and is now in a better place.
