Popular Nollywood actress Chacha Eke has once again made headlines after publicly announcing her separation from husband and filmmaker Austin Faani, offering a deeply personal reflection on love, loss, and resilience.
The actress, who previously stirred public attention in 2022 after revealing that she was leaving her marriage due to alleged domestic violence, only to later retract the statement has now spoken out again. This time, she
appears firm in her decision, sharing raw details of the emotional weight she has carried behind the scenes.
In a heartfelt Instagram post, Chacha opened up about her recent battles, including the sudden loss of her mother, the tragic passing of a child, and the emotional toll of parting ways with her husband, a relationship she once hoped would last a lifetime.
“I’ve watched the life I built fall apart Infront of me and still got up the next morning to keep going. I’ve lost my parents suddenly to death, I’ve said goodbye to the man I thought would grow old beside me. Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it,” she wrote.
Touching on her evolving view of love, Chacha emphasized that mutual respect is key to sustaining any relationship.
She shared, “Without respect, love is lost.”
The actress also expressed pride in her ability to confront life’s challenges head-on, despite facing intense emotional turmoil, heartbreaks, and disappointments. Her post highlighted the strength required to navigate personal responsibilities while healing from private pain.
Her announcement has sparked a flurry of reactions online, with fans and media observers both sympathizing and speculating, especially given the history of her earlier separation claim and retraction. While some question the finality of this decision, others commend her bravery in speaking her truth.
Chacha’s candid message continues to strike a chord with many, painting a picture of a woman embracing vulnerability, healing, and growth on her own terms.
