After Peggy Ovire deleted her husband’s name from her Instagram bio, rumors of a potential breakup between Nollywood stars Frederick Leonard and Peggy Ovire have grown more intense.
Leonard’s name, which was previously displayed in her profile, has since been removed, according to checks made on her Instagram site on Thursday.
The development coincides with ongoing rumors of marital problems that neither partner has addressed in public.
Both Ovire and Leonard have not commented on the situation or released an official statement refuting the separation rumors as of the time this news was filed.
In addition, the couple, who were married in 2022, have not shared birthday wishes on social media and have conspicuously avoided public appearances together in recent months.
When Ovire posted a Christmas picture of herself in pajamas without Leonard in December 2024, rumors of a falling out began to circulate. When she shared a video of herself getting ready for a wedding celebration in May 2025—this time without her wedding band—more rumors were sparked.
In other developments, Nollywood star Yul Edochie has denied reports that he and his second wife, Judy Austin, are divorcing.
According to reports, there have been rumors that the Nollywood stars are no longer together and are experiencing marital problems for some months.
After they stopped sharing their romantic moments on social media, the couple further fueled the rumors.
But on Wednesday, Yul shocked everyone by announcing his love for Judy on her birthday in an Instagram post.
The actor also posted a video with a caption praising Judy.
“Happy birthday to you, Nwunye Odogwu, Ijele Odogwu, Ijele Isi Mmili ji Ofor, Okwulu Okalisia,” he wrote. Judyaustin1, my dear.
