On Friday, March 27, Okporo shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of their hands clasped together alongside a joint statement from both him and Nick. The message conveyed their decision with calmness and dignity, reflecting their desire to navigate the difficult moment respectfully.

“Nick and I have made the mutual decision to end our marriage. We have officially filed for a no-fault divorce by mutual agreement. This has been a hard decision, and we are taking the time and space we need to move through it with honesty and respect,” the statement read.

The couple also asked followers to respect their privacy and avoid taking sides. “You’re welcome to continue holding space for both of us, together or separately,” they added, signing off simply as Nick and Edafe.

The announcement quickly gained traction online, with followers expressing support and well-wishes as the two move forward on separate paths.
