Businessman Olakunle Churchill has dismissed reports suggesting he is divorced from actress Rosy Meurer, insisting that no legally recognised marriage ever existed between them.
In a detailed statement shared via his Instagram page on Wednesday, Churchill described the circulating reports as false and urged the public to disregard what he termed misinformation.
According to him, their relationship did not involve a court or church wedding but was limited to a traditional introduction ceremony.
“The reports circulating online about a supposed divorce between myself and Roseline Meurer are completely false. There is no truth to them, and they should be treated as such,” he said.
“There was no legally recognized marriage. There was no church wedding and no court wedding. What took place was an introduction. Therefore, the idea of a ‘divorce’ is baseless from the outset,” he added.
Churchill also questioned claims of ongoing legal proceedings, stating that he was never formally served any court documents and raising concerns over due process.
He criticised what he described as inaccurate legal narratives being shared publicly, suggesting that proper procedures were not followed.
“I am 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,” he said.
“Looking at the alleged hearing and judgment dates, I am left asking: is this even possible in Nigeria? At times, it is necessary to allow a man handle his responsibilities without interference, most especially when you were carried along. That is part of his role and duty.”
The businessman also referenced past controversies surrounding his former marriage to actress Tonto Dikeh, noting that issues from that relationship were personal and have since been resolved between both parties.
“If Tonto offended anyone, it should be me alone and if I offended anyone, it should be Tonto. However, we have both chosen to forgive each other. I believe she has changed and is now in a better place,” he said.
Churchill further addressed public perceptions about Meurer’s role in his life, stating that while she faced criticism, narratives surrounding her involvement have been exaggerated.
“I do not agree with the narrative that Rosy ‘stood by me’ in a way that should now be exaggerated. While I acknowledge that she faced public criticism, it is important to state that if she had not been there, someone else would have occupied that position in my life,” he said.
His remarks come amid renewed public attention following a recent video posted by Meurer on Instagram, where she reintroduced herself without Churchill’s surname or a wedding ring, describing her return as a “rebirth” and a new phase in her career.
In the video, the actress apologised for her absence and said she is stepping into a new creative era focused on growth and storytelling.
