Churchill Confirms Reconciliation With Ex-Wife Tonto Dikeh

Olakunle Churchill, ex-husband to Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, has confirmed that he has reconciled with his former wife, describing the development as a moment of healing, forgiveness and a renewed commitment to co-parenting their son, King Andre.

Churchill made the confirmation in a statement shared on his Instagram page on Sunday, a day after Dikeh publicly announced that peace had been restored between them following nearly a decade of public conflict and legal disputes.

“I was pleasantly surprised when I received a call from my son, King Andre, for the first time. Hearing him call me ‘Daddy’ was deeply touching and a reminder that what God cannot do does not exist,” Churchill wrote.

Reflecting on the long-running feud that defined much of their post-marital relationship, he said faith played a central role in bringing clarity and resolution to the matter.

“Faith has a way of bringing clarity, humility and peace. I acknowledge the growth and grace evident in the manner in which this matter has been resolved. With God leading, healing and understanding have become possible,” he stated.

Churchill said forgiveness had opened the door to a new chapter in their relationship, stressing that both parties had chosen to move forward with peace and mutual respect.

“Forgiveness has paved the way for a new chapter, and we are moving forward with a sense of peace and mutual respect. The conflict is behind us, and we are now focused on co-parenting with love, care, and a shared commitment to raising our son,” he said.

Expressing gratitude for the progress made, Churchill noted that the reconciliation has allowed him to reconnect meaningfully with his son.

“I am grateful for the journey we’ve been on and the growth we’ve experienced, and I look forward to a future filled with collaboration, respect, and peace, trusting God to guide me. I am grateful to have my son back in my life,” he added.

He also publicly acknowledged Dikeh for her role as a mother, saying, “Thank you to the amazing mother of my son, Tonto Dikeh, for doing a good job.”

The confirmation followed an emotional statement by Dikeh in which she announced what she described as a “divine restoration” after almost 10 years of strained relations marked by public accusations, court cases and custody battles.

Tonto Dikeh and Olakunle Churchill married in 2015 in a widely publicised ceremony, but the marriage collapsed less than two years later amid intense media attention.

They shared one child, King Andre Churchill, and their post-separation relationship has remained one of the most talked-about celebrity feuds in Nigeria.
