Popular Nigerian businessman and philanthropist, Churchill Olakunle, has firmly denied reports suggesting a brewing marital crisis between him and his wife, Nollywood actress Rosy Meurer. The rumours, which have been making the rounds on social media, alleged that the celebrity couple was experiencing difficulties in their marriage, sparking a flurry of speculation and mixed reactions from fans and critics alike.
However, in a direct response to the rumours, Churchill took to his verified Instagram page on Tuesday to set the record straight. Sharing a lighthearted message, he dismissed the claims as unfounded, revealing that his wife and children are currently enjoying a family vacation at Disneyland in Paris.
“I hear say I dey trend, who cook am? My family dey Disney Paris dey enjoy summer life. Una go wait until menopause come. Mrh I see you,” he wrote, suggesting that the gossip was not only false but laughable.
Churchill’s post was accompanied by no photos, but his words were aimed at dispelling any doubts about the state of his union with Rosy Meurer. His response seemed to address not only the rumour mill but also the notorious Instagram blog, Gistlover, which is often linked to celebrity exposés and unconfirmed gossip.
The businessman’s post sparked mixed reactions online. While some fans offered support and praised him for addressing the rumours with composure, others questioned the authenticity of his denial, citing the couple’s recent silence on each other’s birthdays and lack of mutual social media appearances.
Instagram user @Roberto_queenez wrote, “Why your wife no post you on your birthday and you no even post her on her birthday, but you posted your first son’s birthday just 2 days after your wife’s birthday?”
Another user, @Alexxa333, dismissed Churchill’s statement as “story, damage control,” while @Manguele_allima queried, “Do you even have to explain yourself every time? Gistlover did not mention names so how did you know they were talking about you?”
Still, several fans came to Churchill’s defence, with @Lisaomorodian commenting, “The Grace is inbuilt! Family for life,” and @Iconmayorr adding, “Your home is blessed, Gistlover will wait tire in their imaginary news.”
Churchill and Rosy Meurer’s relationship has often drawn public interest due to its controversial beginning. Churchill was formerly married to Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, and Rosy Meurer was accused of playing a role in the breakdown of that marriage — a claim both parties have repeatedly denied.
In 2021, Churchill surprised many Nigerians when he announced that Rosy Meurer was not only his wife but also the mother of his child. The couple later held a quiet wedding ceremony and have since maintained a relatively private life, despite being in the public eye.
Rosy, who is known for her active presence on social media, has not directly commented on the recent crisis rumours or Churchill’s response. However, her silence and absence from Instagram around Churchill’s birthday further fueled speculation that all might not be well.
This incident once again highlights the power and pitfalls of social media in the lives of celebrities. While platforms like Instagram provide a direct channel to communicate with fans and control narratives, they also amplify rumours and give room for misinterpretation.
Churchill’s decision to publicly address the speculation underscores a growing trend among Nigerian celebrities to manage their own PR, rather than let gossip blogs or fans shape the narrative. Whether or not this approach will silence doubters remains to be seen, but for now, Churchill insists his marriage is intact.
As the rumour mills churn, Churchill Olakunle has made it clear that there is no crisis in his home. According to him, his wife and children are spending quality time abroad — a subtle but pointed declaration that love still thrives in their union. Until Rosy Meurer herself weighs in, the public will continue to watch closely. For now, the businessman’s message is clear: “There’s no fire in this house.”
