An actress who is now married to businessman Olakunle Churchill after his marriage to Tonto Dikeh crashed, Rosy Maurer, has explained the circumstances that led to their getting hooked.
Maurer said she had known Churchill before he married Dikeh and they still kept the contact alive after the divorce.
She, however, said she never did anything that could jeopardise the failed marriage.
In an interface with her fans on Instagram, Rosy said:
”Mr Churchill’s failed marriage has nothing to do with me. The same way you guys read and heard online that I was the reason for his broken marriage was the same way I read and heard online that I was the reason for his broken marriage.
“Before then, I never knew that the relationship I had with him before he got married was a problem after he got married. I didn’t get the memo. No one confronted me. I was never aware of such. Whatever it is that happened in his marriage, I had no knowledge of. The same way you read online of what happened is the same way I read online what happened.
“I mean, I knew him. Why would I wait for him to get married before I would start playing hide and seek? It doesn’t make sense.
”After his marriage crisis and after he got divorced, I was still there. I never left. Why will accusations and people talking make me leave? Leave to where? I never left. I never abandoned him. Obviously he was a different person. Not much fun, not the normal fun bobly Mr Churchill that we used to play with and used to know. He was just off, devastated, broken, frustrated. His mind was never there. You could tell he had stuff on his mind. It was what it was.
“Gradually days passed, months passed, years passed, life took its course. Destiny happened.
“What I was accused of became my reality and my fate. What would be would be. You cannot change it. You cannot force it. I am not God. I mean, it just happened. I let God’s will take place in my life. I never forced myself on him. It just happened that he became more than a brother. He became a lifetime partner.”
