Manager Dismisses Divorce Rumours Between Simi Adekunle Gold

The manager of Nigerian singer Simi has dismissed reports circulating online that the artiste and her husband, Adekunle Gold, are heading for a divorce, describing the claim as false.

Simi’s manager, Vincent, said the rumour, which spread widely across social media, was based on a fabricated document presented as a divorce petition allegedly filed by Adekunle Gold.

The document, dated February 28, 2026, claimed that the couple’s marriage had “irretrievably broken down” and alleged prolonged emotional, financial and professional control. It also sought dissolution of the marriage and joint custody arrangements for their children, with some online reports suggesting the petition had been filed at the High Court of Lagos State.

However, reacting to the circulating document, Vincent insisted it was not genuine and pointed to what he described as clear legal inconsistencies.

“It’s fake and fabricated. First, stage names are not tenable in any court of justice worldwide, as the document indicates. Even the suit number on the document is backdated to 2024 (SUIT NO HCL/FC/2024/0178),” he said.

Simi and Adekunle Gold began their relationship as friends and collaborators before getting married in January 2019. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Adejare, in 2020.

Earlier this year, the pair were also reported to have welcomed twins, a development widely celebrated by fans. They recently marked their seventh wedding anniversary and shared tributes on social media.
