Nigerian fashion designer Maureen Esisi insists that she and Nollywood actor Blossom Chukwujekwu are “technically” still married, despite their separation in 2019.
It was reported that Blossom Chukwujekwu married Pastor Ehinome at Christ Embassy in June 2022, three years after his marriage to Maureen Esisi ended.
In a recent interview on “The House Chronicles” podcast, Maureen maintained that they are not officially divorced, as she hasn’t signed any legal documents.
Esisi accused her former in-laws of encouraging their separation, despite advising her against leaving the marriage before it finally ended.

She said, “I would call his mom, and she would give me reasons why we couldn’t divorce. She would say, ‘Divorce is not of the Lord. Don’t worry, he will get better.’ And then, magically, he said he was done. And the same people who were telling me every year to stay, how come when your son says he’s done, you suddenly disregard God?
“My separation happened long before it became public. I’m not divorced on paper. Technically, we are still married. When you say you’re divorced, it means you’ve signed papers, right?”
