Nollywood actor Chinedu Ikedieze, popularly known as Aki, has subtly confirmed his separation from his wife, Nneoma Nwaijah, whom he married in 2011.
Aki and Nneoma’s traditional marriage took place on November 26, 2011, in Obolo, Isiala Mbano, Imo State, followed by their white wedding on December 9, 2011, at the Redeemed Christian Church of God – Abundant Grace parish in Ogba, Lagos. Their wedding was attended by a star-studded guest list, including actors such as Osita Iheme (Pawpaw), Uche Jombo, Rita Dominic, Mercy Johnson, Genevieve Nnaji, Monalisa Chinda, and Susan Peters. The couple met on a movie set in Lagos, where Nneoma worked as a costumier, and Aki was the lead actor.
On Tuesday, the 46-year-old actor announced his separation from Nneoma and revealed that he is now married to Stephanie Promise, with whom he recently welcomed a child. Aki made the announcement on Instagram while celebrating Promise’s birthday, noting that they have other children together.
Aki expressed his love and appreciation for Promise, saying: “My world, my love. On this particular day, I want to celebrate not only your birthday but the incredible journey we’ve been on together. You have blessed our lives with two beautiful girls who light up our world, and now, we have been gifted with a precious baby boy.
“Watching you embrace motherhood with grace and strength fills me with awe. You are the heart of our family, the rock we all lean on. Your love and dedication to me and our children are unparalleled, and I am endlessly grateful for the life we are building together.”
He did not disclose when his first marriage ended or when the second one began.
