It�s been over a year since rumours about their relationship surfaced and finally Nollywood actress Nuella Njubigbo and Nollywood producer/director Tchidi Chikere have confirmed that they are getting married.
The ceremony will take place in Anambra state this weekend. Nuella confirmed the news via her rep.
Read her story;
�Let me start by confirming some of the rumours you may have heard. Yes, the traditional marriage rites between Tchidi Chikere and I will be performed soon. This was not the way we imagined or planned it, but as they say, nobody has a crystal ball to tell where or who we end up with. Life is a dice.
At the time the rumours of his separation/divorce and me being involved was going on, I definitely was not in that space where some story writers said I was. I was busy doing other things with my life, other preoccupations, a relationship (I thought would lead to marriage), and my acting career. Things happened, my relationship packed up and we went our separate ways, I moved on.
Tchidi and I have always been friends (As I am with other colleagues), We trade in the same career, but we never crossed that line (we never dated), not to talk of me getting pregnant for him ( I�m presently not pregnant as still being written) sometimes It�s really tiring confirming or refuting some of these rumors. I know some naysayers would still believe what they have made up their minds to believe and stick to; Truth is, I am not making this statement for those set of people, neither am I making it to get people on my side. This statement goes out to those who love me and truly care about me and the way I live my life, and to my very reliable and supportive fans who have been asking questions and deserve to know the truth.
In the past two years, Tchidi and I worked more, we got closer and more friendly, we were both single and I began to understand and see the real him. Needless to say that I also began to really , really like this real person I was getting to know more and more with every passing day. Then it happened, our hearts clicked. Well, maybe the flying rumours contributed to this and made me look more his way, or it could have been part of life we have no control over.
Suffice this to say, he proposed to me a while ago and after very careful thought and consideration on every side I said yes. Would I say no because of what people would say and damn where my heart led me? Just like Bill Cosby said, �the key to failure is trying to please everybody�. I chose not to take that route, instead follow my heart.
My heart is remarkably at peace with this decision, and I am willing to take this leap of faith which every married woman has taken. Where this love will lead me I cannot say, I am not God, but, I have hope, faith and believe that it will lead me to a good place. Every one of us in this life deserves a chance to be happy. I am taking my own chance.
This is the only statement I am making on this, any other one after this is not from me. I can�t help what people say or write, but please be careful about what you listen to or read and believe. For those who wish me the best, I wish the very best, for those who don�t, I leave you to God who sees and knows all things. Thanks for reading.�
It�s really great that Nuella took the time out to clarify the situation. So many rumours have floated around over the last few months. Good to hear her side of the story.
FLASHBACK! I�m Still Married To Tchidi Chikere � Sophia Cries Out
In 2012, the marriage between Nollywood actress, Sophia Chikere, and movie director, Tchidi Chikere, reportedly ended like a pack of a badly arranged card. It was also reported then that another actress, Nuella Njubigbo, was responsible for the crack in the union.
Some days after the reports, it was said that Nuella was pregnant for the tall and handsome actor turned director, Tchidi Chikere, but she vehemently denied the reports.
News went viral on the internet recently that Tchidi and Nuella would be tying the knot on Friday, March 28, 2014, in Anambra State. None of the duo has come out to directly deny the story.
It was also reported that Nuella is presently pregnant for Tchidi and that she is living with him in his house in Lagos.
When contacted by Nigeriafilms.com last Thursday on the marriage rumour trailing her estranged husband, Sophia disclosed to us that she has no idea of the issue. �I don�t know about it, honestly speaking, I don�t know about that,� she said.
�Let�s imagine you are just getting to know about this, are you now getting worried that Neulla is getting married to Tchidi,� we asked. �You are cracking me up James, honestly speaking, I don�t know about that,� she replied.
�Are you planning to remarry?� we asked her. �James, haba, which one is re-marrying, I am a married woman o,� she answered.
�Married to Tchidi?� we queried. �I am a married woman for crying out loud,� she replied, asking, �am I divorced?�
�But there were reports that you and Tchidi are divorced, is that true?� we sought to confirm. �That is my private life and I don�t want to speak on it. I am a married woman, there is nothing like divorce, okay! You are hearing from me now, believe me,� Sophia assured us.
Meanwhile, all efforts made to speak to Nuella on this matter proved abortive as she didn�t pick the several calls put through to her phone.
