Nollywood actress, Chacha Eke, has officially announced the end of her marriage to filmmaker, Austin Faani, after several years together.
In a heartfelt message shared on her Instagram story, the actress revealed the pain and emotional turmoil she has endured, detailing the reasons behind her decision.
The actress, who has previously opened up about her mental health struggles, reflected on the journey that led to the dissolution of her marriage.
“I said goodbye to the man I once thought I would grow old with,” she wrote.
In her message, Chacha disclosed that although she was loved, the love lacked respect.
“I was loved without respect, and that is not love at all,” she stated, emphasizing the emotional cost of remaining in a relationship that did not uphold her dignity.
Recounting the hardships she has faced, the actress revealed the emotional burden she has carried.
“I have carried struggles, heartbreaks, disappointments in one hand and responsibility in the other,” she wrote, illustrating the weight of her personal battles.
Eke further shared that she watched her life fall apart despite her efforts to hold everything together.
She revealed the pain of losing both her parents suddenly and the trauma of watching her child die in her arms.
“I watched the life I built fall apart in front of me, but I just had to keep going,” she added.
The mother of four reflected on the resilience needed to face life’s challenges, saying, “Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.”
This is not the first time Chacha Eke has announced a separation from her husband.
In a previous instance, she disclosed a bipolar disorder diagnosis and later apologized for the announcement, attributing it to her mental health condition.
Her latest statement, however, appears to affirm her decision, with a tone of finality and self-empowerment.
