Celebrity Marriages That Crashed In 2023
In Nigeria, people are always talking about famous couples and their marriages. Some last, but sadly, some don’t. Let’s take a look at the marriage of celebrities which ended in 2023.
Israel DMW and Sheila Courage,
Israel DMW, who works for Davido, and Sheila Courage, who is a model, songwriter, and TV presenter, were married for only one year. Sheila, not only known for her talents but also as the daughter of a well-known pastor, caught the public’s attention. Their wedding in October 2022 was attended by many celebrities. However, things went bad when Israel claimed on November 25, through an Instagram post, that Sheila married him just for fame. This led to the end of their marriage.
Bolanle Ninalowo
Popular Nollywood actor Bolanle Ninalowo shocked fans by announcing the end of his 17-year marriage to Bunmi. This wasn’t the first time their relationship hit the rocks; in 2017, they confirmed a separation after 12 years together. Despite reuniting in 2018, the couple decided to part ways for good, with Ninalowo stating on September 1, 2023, that the breakup was the best for all parties involved.
BRed
Nigerian artiste B-Red, Davido’s cousin, faced a marriage breakdown with Faith Johnson in 2023. Despite keeping their wedding private, they claimed to be happily married. However, allegations of abuse and infidelity surfaced, leading to a public fallout. The couple, parents to a son born in 2019, unfollowed each other on Instagram and engaged in a public exchange of accusations.
Bukola Awoyemi (Arugba) And Damola Olatunji
Nollywood actress Bukola Awoyemi, known as Arugba, separated from her husband, actor Damola Olatunji, over alleged infidelity. Despite denials from Damola, Bukola moved out earlier in the year and officially announced their separation on Instagram. The couple, who share twins, couldn’t salvage their relationship.
Demola Odulaja And Farida Sobowale
Farida Sobowale made headlines with an attempted suicide following the collapse of her two-month-old marriage to Demola Odulaja. Demola attributed the breakup to Farida’s alleged promiscuity. The public revelation of personal issues highlighted the challenges celebrities face in maintaining their marriages.
Yomi Gold
In January 2023, Yomi Gold, a famous Yoruba actor and producer, announced that he and his second wife Meenah were getting a divorce. Yomi admitted his part in the breakup and said Meenah is a good person, giving people a peek into their relationship.
These celebrity breakups, like Yomi’s, grab people’s interest and show that being famous doesn’t make relationships immune to challenges. Fans are curious about the personal lives of these stars, which often play out in the public eye.

VDM Reacts as Regina Daniels Reportedly Returns to Ned Nwoko (Video)
Controversial social media commentator, Martins Vincent Otse, popularly known as VeryDarkMan (VDM), has reacted to reports that Nollywood actress Regina Daniels has allegedly returned to the home of her husband, Senator Ned Nwoko, following their recent marital controversy.
Otse made his position known in a video shared on his Facebook page on Saturday, where he questioned the reported return and recalled the backlash he received from some Nigerians during the earlier controversy involving the actress and her husband.

VDM said he wanted to see those who previously criticised him return to make posts about the latest development, recalling that he had been insulted and accused of hating women.
He also questioned claims that Regina Daniels returned because of her children.
“Some are saying she only went back because of her children. Didn’t she see the children when she left? Why didn’t she care so much about them then?”
The social media commentator further questioned whether Regina would have returned if Ned Nwoko were not a wealthy man.
“If Ned Nwoko Were A Poor Man, Would She Come Back?”
VDM also suggested that Regina may have returned after realising that life outside the marriage was not what she expected.
“She Saw That There Was Nothing Outside, That’s Why She Came Back.”
In another post accompanying his reaction, Otse wrote: “As seen on social media Regina Daniels is back home to SEN NED NWOKO… or rather PA NED according to emotional Nigerians then.”
However, the report of Regina Daniels’ return has not been independently confirmed by the actress or Ned Nwoko.

Diddy to Leave Prison Earlier Than Expected as Release Date Changes Again
Sean “Diddy” Combs could be released from prison earlier than previously expected after his projected release date was moved forward again.
According to the latest listing from the U.S. Federal Bureau of Prisons, the 56-year-old music mogul is now projected to leave the Federal Correctional Institution in Fort Dix, New Jersey, on February 5, 2028.
The latest adjustment moves his projected release date forward by more than two weeks from the previously listed date of February 20, 2028.

Combs’ release date has reportedly been revised several times since he began serving his 50-month federal prison sentence in October 2025.
His initial projected release date was June 2028 before subsequent changes moved it forward to April, February and January. It was later adjusted to February 20, 2028, before the latest change to February 5.
The reason for the repeated changes remains unclear.
The Federal Bureau of Prisons has previously said it does not comment on individual inmates’ confinement conditions, release plans or the reasons behind changes to projected release dates, citing privacy, safety and security concerns.
Diddy’s Prison Sentence
Combs is serving his sentence after a federal jury found him guilty in 2025 on two counts of transporting individuals across state lines for prostitution.
However, he was acquitted of the more serious charges of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking.
A judge subsequently sentenced the rapper and entertainment executive to four years and two months in prison, followed by five years of supervised release.
Reported Altercation at Fort Dix
The latest release-date adjustment comes weeks after reports that Combs was involved in an altercation with another inmate at the New Jersey prison.
Reports cited by the Daily Mail alleged that Combs and the inmate initially pushed each other before punches were exchanged. Guards reportedly intervened, and Combs was subsequently placed in solitary confinement.
Prison officials have not publicly confirmed the details of the alleged incident.
Combs’ representatives have previously denied reports that he violated prison rules, maintaining that the Bad Boy Entertainment founder was focused on sobriety, self-discipline and personal growth while serving his sentence.
For now, the Bureau of Prisons lists February 5, 2028, as Combs’ projected release date.
However, the date could still change.
