Olakunle Churchill, the ex-husband of actress Tonto Dikeh, has claimed that there is no legally recognized marriage between him and his partner, Rosy Meurer.
His statement follows reports of a possible crisis in their relationship.
According to reports, Meurer had reportedly initiated divorce proceedings after Olakunle Churchill’s recent reconciliation with his former wife, Tonto Dikeh, who is now an evangelist.
Responding to divorce documents circulating online, Olakunle Churchill took to his Instagram page on Wednesday to dismiss the claims, describing them as unfounded.
He maintained that his relationship with Meurer does not have a legal basis that would require a formal divorce.
While questioning the process of the divorce document and the expertise of Meurer’s lawyer, he noted that he only had an introduction with her; “What took place was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a “divorce” is baseless from the outset.
“The reports circulating online about a supposed divorce between myself and Roseline Meurer are completely false. There is no truth to them. There was no legally recognized marriage. There was no church wedding and no court wedding.
“Beyond that, any legitimate legal process requires that all parties be formally served and given the opportunity to respond. I was never served. So I ask a simple question: what exactly is being presented to the public, and how was it obtained?
“I’m 100% sure that individuals without proper experience in the media space are advising Rosy incorrectly, alongside legal practitioners who operate under a mango tree without due process and claim to produce divorce documents within 24 hours”, Olakunle Churchill said.
