Tonto Dikeh Says Reconciliation With Ex-Husband Churchill Has Inspired 10 Women to Embrace Co-Parenting

Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh has disclosed that her reconciliation with her ex-husband, Olakunle Churchill, has inspired at least 10 women to mend broken relationships with the fathers of their children.

The actress, who has been vocal about forgiveness and healing, said hundreds of women reached out to her after she announced that she and Churchill had ended their decade-long feud.

According to her, she personally guided women whose experiences mirrored hers, and today at least 10 of them have restored peace and embraced healthy co-parenting.
“Ever since my reconciliation with my ex-husband, hundreds of women have reached out asking the same question: How did you learn to forgive? While I couldn’t reply to everyone, I reached out to those whose pain mirrored my own. Today, to the glory of God, at least 10 women have been reconciled, restoring peace, healing hearts, and stepping into healthy co-parenting. God has truly turned my personal story into a tool for restoration,” she said.
Dikeh urged single mothers carrying bitterness to let go, noting that forgiveness is not for the offender but for one’s own peace and growth.
“If you are carrying bitterness today, please hear this: Forgiveness is never for the person who hurt you; it is for you. It is the key to moving your life forward. God will not inflict pain on others just because we are hurting.”

“True closure doesn’t come from people; it comes from God. He promises to restore the years that the cankerworm has eaten. Not just days or weeks, but years. Every tear you’ve shed and every year spent in pain will be turned into a powerful testimony.”
Her message comes months after she announced in January 2026 that she and Churchill had reconciled, ending 10 years of public battles, accusations, and co-parenting disputes over their son, King Andre.

The former couple got married in 2015, but their marriage crashed in less than two years, leading to a highly publicised separation.
