Over the years, many celebrity marriages have hit the rocks in controversial circumstances. Saturday Beats takes a look at some short-lived celeb marriages which have crashed in recent times

Korra Obidi and Justin Dean

Singer and dancer, Korra Obidi, had a messy break-up with her estranged husband, Justin Dean, some months ago. Their break-up was particularly shocking because they had cut the picture of a perfect couple on social media.

Recall that the duo got married in December 2017 and went their separate ways in March, 2022.

Justin went on to make a series of posts calling Korra a narcissist. He wrote on Instagram, “I am tired of narcissism, cheating and lack of accountability. I have been trying since 2018 to save our marriage and if I don’t do exactly what she says, she (threatens to) divorce me (sic). I have been a prisoner that has his family used against him if she does not get exactly what she wants.”

Korra also wrote on Instagram, “I am going to be 100 per cent committed to taking care of my newborn and myself. When mama is good, the baby is good. Thank you all for reaching out. I honestly don’t know what I would do without your support. I hope that me finding the strength to come up here will make you happy.”

Nedu and Uzoamaka Ohiri

Comedian and broadcaster, Chinedu Emmanuel, aka Nedu, and Uzoamaka Ohiri got married in 2013 and the marriage reportedly crashed in 2018.

However, it wasn’t until September 2021 that Ohiri came on social media to castigate her ex-husband and accuse him of domestic violence.

She wrote on Instagram, “Do you remember when you beat me up while your mother held my new-born a few weeks after I had a caesarean operation? I still wonder how Wazobia FM allows you to host a marriage show when you’re one of the many men that beat their spouses to stupor.”

In his response, Nedu wrote, “Both times, I was cleared of all allegations and I have the necessary proof to back up my claim. If anyone should be laying claims to domestic violence, it should be me.”

He also stated that Ohiri was unfaithful to him as he was not the father of her first child. He shared the result of a DNA test to back-up his claim.
