Rollercoaster nuptials

Two years later, Mr Chikere married actress Nuella Njubigbo in her family compound in Anambra State.

Their union was veiled in controversy as the film producer was married to her industry colleague. Many wondered whether she was the reason for the end of his first marriage.

News of a crisis in their marriage first filtered in 2021 when the couple unfollowed each other on Instagram.

Later on, Tchidi confirmed the marriage had ended and gave reasons. They have a daughter.

"Silence isn't always empty. Telling my story on my YouTube channel," she wrote on her Instagram page.

In a post on his Instagram page. Mr Chikere urged people not to wait too long or to stay unhappy for long.

"No one will pay you for how long you waited. How long you stayed unhappy. How long you were alone. We are all solitary birds.

"Choose you! Love your real friends. Fall in love with a good woman or man, no matter how long it takes you to find him/her, or how many times you try. You have only one life to live. most of all, be at peace with God," he wrote.
