The fear of marriage these days is the beginning of wisdom. Heavily pregnant Nollywood actress, Uche Ogbodo  who less than a yer ago was married or engaged to a Norway based ex footballer Ato has confirmed to popular blogger SDK that her marriage which she called an engagement is off.
Read the excerpt below:

She finally decided to respond after a few questions and in tears and breathing heavily explained how she made the mistake of her life but is forging on for the sake of her baby.

-Hello Uche,i have a few quick questions for you.I heard your barely a year old marriage has crashed,is this true?
 .. Well that may be true but what isn't true is that it wasn't really marriage yet because it wasn't fully formalised, we were still in the process of formalising it when all hell broke loose, so I was merely Engaged to be married to Ato Ubby.    

-it was just an introduction?why didn’t you clear that impression all this while?
…I just felt there was no need to do so because the wedding plans was to follow shortly,unfortunately it didn’t because things didn’t work out the way it should.i walked into a no-win situation.


-What happened? 

 This is really a hard question to answer, but all I can say Is that barely one month into the Engagement and in the process of planning a formal wedding I realised I had made the greatest mistake of my life.The Foundation of the Union was based On lies and Deceit..shocking lies.we had been dating for a almost year and i thought i knew it all but nothing prepared me for what unfolded.

-Is he married already?
...No,he isnt married to anyone else 

-You got pregnant in the process?
On the verge of trying to salvage the situation I found out I was expecting a child. I kept quiet to the Rumours Making the rounds because I was left with the option of thinking for my child and trying to salvage a dead situation but now I have finally made up my mind to break off the Engagement and my Reasons are Irreconcilable...

Uche so you are saying you never got married and the engagement is off?
 I just want to be left alone to take care of my Child. Stella I wasn't married I was engaged to be married but as things stand now, the engagement is officially broken due to irreconcilable differences and since I am having my baby soon, my Doctors has advised me to rest as my health and that of my Baby is the most important thing right now..  


-So you are the one walking away and not him?you want to go into details?
..Yes i am the one walking out on the pack of lies,I am not going to pretend because i want to be married,i am not desperate and i would rather swallow my pride and accept i made a big mistake than forge ahead in lies.I am sorry i cannot go into details because i do not want to trade words or run my ex down because he is the father of the child i am carrying.
I am sorry if keeping quiet misled people into my status was already married.
The excitement of looking forward to birthing my child kinda numbs the shock and disappointment but i will be fine.
So,after the introduction,the planned marriage was dead on arrival?
…exactly and all this while,we have been trying to settle the issues,thats probably how you got hear of it.


-Heres wishing you all the best Uche,we look forward to hearing the good news.God bless you.

..Thank you Stella for calling to confirm.thanks to everyone who has been understanding on this...for now,let me channel all my energy into positivity for my baby.

Over the past few days Jim Iyke has been in the news alot lately from a woman, Ruth Okoro revealing how the actor destroyed her marriage to a US-based musician and publisher of Nigeria FM Emma Agu putiing him on a blast for accusing for being responsible for his break-up with Nadia.Jim Iyke in a statement through his Mitch Ngaman said:

“I can assure you that whatever you may have heard regarding the ‘misunderstanding’ between Jim and Nadia is pure speculation. Nonetheless, it is normal for lovers to disagree with each other occasionally or they wouldn’t be human beings,” the statement reads in part.
“We are aware of the false rumour about Jim and Nadia’s breakup. We have decided to ignore it because it is unfounded. Jim and Nadia have not broken up, as claimed by Emma.
“That guy is a frustrated musician and blogger whose stock – in – trade is blackmail. All he does is to meddle in other people’s business. And if he does not have his way, he goes into a tantrum and fabricates stories.
We will act when we deem fit. He can keep on ranting for now,” he said.
However, Nadia Buari is yet to make any comment on the report.

REVEALED: How Bruce Was Sidelined When He Was Married To Kris Jenner

For some fans the separation between Bruce and Kris Jenner came as a surprise but to most fans, it wasn't a surprise especially those who have been watching the Keeping Up with the Kardashians show. Bruce has always felt sidelined. These are some things which allegedly caused the breakup:
Kris was caught having a secret meeting with her former flame, who she was romantically involved with while married to Robert Kardashian.
In an episode of Keeping Up With The Kardashians that aired in July 2012, Kris confessed to daughter Kim that Bruce ‘never looks that happy with me’.
She later was seen meeting up with Todd and afterwards, confessed to her friends: ‘You don’t know whether to hang on anymore, maybe there is another chapter for me.’
Kris detailed the affair the pair had in her autobiography but gave the man in question the alias ‘Ryan’, however Todd then came forward to reveal his identity
Anyone who has watched the family’s television show will recall episodes in which Bruce appeared to be sidelined and overlooked when it came to important family matters.
In May last year, when acting as a co-host on The View, Bruce admitted that he didn’t know about the Kardashian family’s $40 million deal to film three more years of the show and had heard about it on the news.
‘Honestly, a couple days ago I was watching the news and then this ticker comes across the screen saying, ‘Kardashians sign a new deal’ and I was like, ‘We did?’
He went on to paint a picture of his relationship with his wife: ‘And then later that day I get yelled at because I spent $300 on a credit card!’
As a world famous sportsman and successful businessman, the shift in power and status may have contributed to their demise.
It was revealed in June that Bruce, who is step-father to Kim, Kourtney, Khloe and Rob Kardashian, spends $14,500 a month renting a Malibu property miles away from the family home in Calabasas
Headstrong Kris’s zeal to promote Kendall, 17, and Kylie’s, 16, careers has also been a bone of contention, and they have publicly argued about whether their teenage daughters should drop out of school.
Just last week, Kris’s sister Karen Houghton told In Touch magazine that the infamous ‘momanger’ pushes her children to be stars and ‘money is her whole world.

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth confirm split, end engagement


According to a popular Benin proverb which when translated into English mean "When you start doing doing what you don't before, you start getting what you don't get before".

Reps for the singer and actor confirmed the split to E! News.

Miley, 20, and Liam, 23, got engaged in May 2012 after dating for over two years. Liam moved in with Miley shortly after the engagement but is said to be in the process of moving out of her LA home.

Taylor Swift, Harry Styles Breakup

After a whirlwind romance that included Central Park strolls, tattoo parlors, birthday cupcakes and a long New Year's Eve kiss, it seems that that Taylor Swift and Harry Styles' romance may have come to a screeching halt.

 Neither Swift's nor Styles' representatives have commented after breakup rumors spread when Swift left the couple's British Virgin Islands getaway with the 1D heartthrob after a "heated argument" over the weekend.

 It didn't take long for fans to weigh in on, flooding Twitter with their thoughts. After combing through thousands of comments, it seems, unsurprisingly, that the overall consensus among Directioners is that they are happy the two have possibly parted ways.


 "People seriously have no idea how happy I am that all this Haylor drama is officially over!!!," @TaylorLacy2 tweeted. @christinalong2 added, "I'm so happy about the haylor break up I could cry :')" Directioners were also quick to let Harry know that they are willing to provide him a shoulder to cry on. 

"Poor Harry, I can't believe she broke his heart! I would have treated him WAY better than that!:'(" MTV.com reader Lisa posted. But even though 1D fans, who disagreed with the coupling to begin with, did have strong opinions on their dislike for Haylor, there were a few who were sad see the romance come to an end and even offered some encouraging words for Swift.

 "I'm actually sad about haylor," @alicecharnleyz said. "not many directioners are." @mrsjackson13 took to Twitter sharing her support for Swift, "@taylorswift13 regardless of what everyone or everybody says I'm STILLhere, ALWAYS! I LOVE you, ALWAYS! Xoxo." @fearlesstay24 tweeted, "I just hope that she finds the right guy."

Eva Longoria Splits From Eduardo Cruz

Eva Longoria has reportedly split from Eduardo Cruz. The ‘Desperate Housewives’ actress – who divorced ex-husband Tony Parker in 2010 after three years of marriage amid allegations he had cheated on her – is said to be focusing on “work” in the wake of the “mutual” split.

An insider told US Weekly magazine: “It was mutual decision. They are staying friends. She’s focusing on work and the end of ‘Desperate Housewives’.” The pair were first introduced at a party by Eduardo’s sister, actress Penelope Cruz, before stepping out together as a couple in February 2011.

After meeting Eduardo soon after her split from Tony, Eva admitted she was “lucky” to have found another relationship so quickly, and even hinted marriage could be on the cards. She recently said: "The truth is, I should be angry, resentful and disillusioned about relationships. But I'm not. I was very lucky to find Edu. "There's a reason I fell in love and got married. I believed in it. Love did not work with that person. But it can work with another."

However, the 36-year-old beauty has previously confessed she is “not good with dating”. Eva explained: “I'm not very approachable. I'm not good with dating, I get really nervous. It's probably strange that I've never been a dater. I've been married or in a relationship, and so this is going to be, you know, scary."

Heidi Klum breaks her silence on shock split from Seal

Seal broke his silence about their shocking break-up right after it was announced, but until now, Heidi Klum has remained silent.The German model has finally opened up about the demise of her marriage in the April issue of Elle magazine.

The 38-year-old supermodel has likened the split to a tornado.She says: 'I feel like I'm in the eye of the tornado. It's emotions inside of your body that are a tornado. And then the outside world doing all this craziness -- with you wanting it or not wanting it -- is another tornado.

'But as hard as it is, so is life. And sometimes I think a curve-ball just comes at you. Instead of something straight that you catch, it hits you in the head from the side that you didn't expect."She admits that, though it appeared they had an idyllic, fairytale romance, their seven-year marriage was rife with problems that they tried to keep private.

The Project Runway host says: To the outside world, you don't really share all the things that happen. You kind of share just the most amazing sides.'But I don't really want to get into any of that stuff. With my life, my family, my business -- I want to go forward.
'I feel like already there are so many things being said about us -- about him, about me. I'm not going to comment.'Otherwise it makes you angry. You can't always call and say, 'This is not true, but this part is true.'

Seal, 49, has been airing the couple's dirty laundry non-stop while promoting his latest album, and though Heidi refuses to admit she's angry, she does acknowledge that the situation is tough.She says: 'He's a grown man. I can't tell him what to do and what not to do. It's hard.'People don't need to know who did what. I don't want to talk positively or negatively about the ups and downs that we had.

'Every couple goes through things. Unfortunately, we're in the public, so the highs are out there.'The former couple have four children together, and she wants to protect them.
She says: 'I'm a lioness. I have four cubs. I'm a mom. I want to take care of my kids and protect them. I don't want to talk about them, or him, or me.'
The model adds that the separation has caused her endless amounts of pain, saying: 'I'm not a robot. I'm not made of stone.'The couple announced their split in late January after seven years of marriage.

The Kiss From A Rose singer spoke out two days after announcing the split.
He said: 'I think we were shocked. You go into these things with the greatest intentions when you say 'I do' and you say 'Til death do us part.'Those vows hold value. They are not just words.
'These things happen. The thing that I'm most proud about is this great women who I married - and I really do mean that from the bottom of my heart - is that together she has given me four incredible gifts, four beautiful children.'

Love is dead! Why Klum-Seal split bums us out

First, Jessica Lange and Sam Shepard called it quits. Then Katy Perry and Russell Brand, and rumors of Johnny Depp and Vanessa Paradis. And now Heidi Klum and Seal have declared they're untying the knot, a celebrity split that seems to be breaking hearts from coast to coast. Since the rumors broke Saturday (and were confirmed in a joint statement released Sunday night), Facebook, Twitter and comment boards across the web have been ablaze with hot, tearful protests. "Nooooooo. Please :(( I adore u guys," wrote one disappointed fan on Twitter. "What!! they were the only hopeful Hollywood couple," tweeted another. Shock and surprise over the split is understandable. Married in 2005 following a courtship that began with a love-at-first-sight meeting, the supermodel-slash-television mogul and her Grammy Award-winning husband have raised four children together and renewed their marriage vows every year for the past seven years.

"I'm so sad that Seal and Heidi Klum have called it quits," says Lawrence Winnerman, a 41-year-old tech project manager from Seattle. "I always loved the romance of them. Her, the German supermodel; him, the hot singer. And I liked that they were kind of the model interracial couple. They were the couple I could really root for and were way more cool than [that] Kardashian and the basketball player she married for a week." Dr. Gail Saltz, psychiatrist with New York Presbyterian Hospital and a regular contributor to TODAY, says it's not unusual for celebrity breakups to have a big impact on the rest of us, especially when it's a seemingly happy couple like this one. "I think we're more interested and curious about this marriage because they appeared so different from each other," she says. "They were both uniquely talented, each in their own right, and uniquely successful in their own right and they seemed to have a relationship that was less about showing it and more about their love and their family." 

 In a world filled with posed family portraits and publicity stunt marriages, Klum and Seal's marriage seemed genuine, says Saltz. "It was always more about the romance with each other and about their children and their family than about being spotted and photographed," she says. "They seemed to actually stay out of the public eye a fair amount. This was one of the longer lasting marriages of the celebrity world. And it was without chaos; there was no 'We're together.

We're apart. We're together. We're apart.' It seemed stable and that by itself makes people more sad." But we're not just sad, she says. Breakup bombshells like this can make us worry about the state of marriage itself, and the ability of anyone to stay together. "We spend a lot of time hyping celebrity marriages and then hyping celebrity divorces and it gives one the illusion that nobody can stay together," she says. "But that's such an unfair skew. How could you be disillusioned because a supermodel with several TV shows and one of the biggest singers on the planet didn't make it? It doesn't have meaning for you or your neighbor, really. Especially since you have no idea what went on inside, no idea as to why they're splitting up." Winnerman says he's still blue about the couple's demise -- and what it might mean for the rest of us. "It makes me think that nothing is permanent," he says. "Even if you have tons of success, you still might not be able to make it with anyone long-term.

It makes me think that the '50s style of marriage forever is an artifact of that time and that modern life just doesn't force that kind of lifetime bonding anymore. Nor should it. But the romance of it is nice and we're all programmed to root for it. Everybody wants to believe in the fairy tale. Even dudes." Heidi Klum and Seal splitting is sad. But what celebrity breakup would you be saddest, or most surprised, about? Tell us
