Maureen Esisi, the ex-wife of popular Nollywood actor Blossom Chukwujekwu, has insisted that she is still “technically” married to the thespian despite their marriage crashing five years ago. Esisi made this statement while appearing on the latest episode of ‘The House Chronicles’ podcast.
According to Esisi, she and Chukwujekwu are not officially divorced, as she has yet to sign any legal documents dissolving their union. She elaborated on the situation during the podcast, revealing the intricate dynamics with her ex-in-laws, which she claims contributed to the collapse of their marriage.
“I would call his mum, she would give me reasons why we cannot divorce. She would say, ‘It [divorce] is not of the Lord. Don’t worry, he would get better.’ And then, magically, he said he was done. And the same you guys [in-laws] that were telling me every year to stay, how come your son comes up to you that he’s done and surprisingly, you throw God out of the way?” Esisi expressed.
She further clarified her current marital status, stating, “My separation happened way before it became public. I’m not divorced by books. Technically, we are still married. When you say you’re divorced, it means you’ve signed papers, right?”
Despite her assertions, Blossom Chukwujekwu remarried in June 2022, tying the knot with Pastor Ehinome at Christ Embassy. The actor’s marriage to Maureen Esisi officially ended in 2019, although the legal formalities of their divorce remain unresolved according to Esisi’s claims.
