Elsie Okpocha, ex-wife of comedian Basketmouth, has urged women experiencing divorce or heartbreak to stay strong and embrace happiness again.
In a heartfelt Instagram video, Elsie encouraged women going through breakups to smile and believe that brighter days lie ahead. She reassured them that despite their struggles, something good would eventually happen.
The mother of two acknowledged the emotional turmoil that often comes with separation, including self-doubt and comparisons to the “other woman.” She emphasized that no one could replace them because of their unique qualities. Addressing concerns about children from broken homes, Elsie assured mothers that their kids would be just fine.
“To every woman dealing with heartbreak, a failed relationship, or divorce—trust me, you will smile again. I don’t know how long it will take, but one day, you’ll look back and be amazed at how far you’ve come,” she said.
Elsie has consistently shared relationship advice since her split from Basketmouth. Last year, she hinted at the cause of their breakup while advising women on dealing with unfaithful partners. She noted that a woman could possess all desirable qualities, yet some men would still cheat.
Earlier this year, Elsie called out Basketmouth for allegedly influencing their son’s decisions against her. She questioned why a father would tell their 16-year-old son not to share his password with her, accusing him of trying to frustrate her happiness.
In 2023, Basketmouth publicly announced the end of their marriage, vowing to co-parent peacefully and urging the public to respect their privacy. Around the same time, reports surfaced linking him to media personality Victoria, who was allegedly involved in his marital issues.
