Nigerian international artiste Paul Okoye, famously known as Rude Boy from the iconic PSquare group, has taken to social media to defend his girlfriend, Ivy Ifeoma, amidst swirling rumours and accusations.
In a recent Instagram post, Paul Okoye shared a heartwarming video featuring himself, his ex-wife Anita Okoye, and another family member, marking a significant moment in their co-parenting journey. The trio appeared joyful as they celebrated their first son’s birthday together, portraying a harmonious relationship despite their past.
This video comes in the wake of Paul’s public defense of his girlfriend, Ivy, against allegations that she played a role in the dissolution of his marriage with Anita. Paul addressed the rumors, dismissing them as internet gossip and emphasizing the healthy co-parenting dynamic between him and Anita.
Ivy also spoke out, refuting claims of her involvement in Paul and Anita’s marital issues. She asserted her innocence, highlighting that she entered a relationship with Paul when he was single and urging those spreading misinformation to reconsider their actions.
The backstory to this situation dates back to 2022 when Anita Okoye filed for divorce from Paul, citing various reasons including cheating, separation, absentee fatherhood, fraud, and difficult experiences. Following a year of legal proceedings, an Abuja High Court granted Anita and Paul Okoye a divorce, with Anita receiving a monthly settlement of $20,000 along with several of her ex-husband’s properties.
