Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire has finally addressed the swirling rumours surrounding her marriage to fellow actor Frederick Leonard, putting forth a bold declaration of self-assurance and individuality.
The speculation around the couple’s relationship resurfaced over the weekend after Ovire posted a video of herself preparing to attend a wedding ceremony. While her radiant appearance caught the attention of fans, it was the absence of her wedding ring that truly set social media abuzz.
Dressed elegantly, Ovire captioned the video, “Wedding guest. Transition 101.” The clip quickly sparked reactions, with fans flooding her comment section. One particularly curious Instagram user, @HoldMart, bluntly asked, “Where is the ring??,” a comment that fueled further speculation about a possible rift between the actress and her husband.
In response to the growing curiosity and online chatter, Peggy Ovire took to her Instagram on Wednesday evening to subtly address the rumours. Though she did not confirm or deny the claims, her words hinted at a deeper message: “No matter what room I step in, I’m coming in as ME.”
Her statement has been widely interpreted as a reaffirmation of her strength and independence in the face of public scrutiny.
Rumours of trouble in paradise first began in late 2024, when Ovire shared a solo Christmas photo wearing pajamas, a departure from the usual cozy couple pictures fans had come to expect from the pair.
While neither Ovire nor Leonard has publicly confirmed the status of their marriage, fans remain glued to updates from the beloved screen couple, hoping for clarity amid the speculation.
