Peggy Ovire Clarifies Romance Claims With Colleague, Kachi Nnochiri

Nollywood actress, Peggy Ovire, has debunked rumours of a romantic relationship with her colleague, Kachi Nnochiri.

Naija News reports that this comes after a video of the Nollywood stars went viral online, showing Peggy walking on Kachi’s arm.

Many netizens began to speculate that the duo are in a romantic relationship following the purported breakup of Peggy’s marriage to Nollywood producer, Frederick Leonard.

Reacting in the comment section of an Instagram post, Peggy clarified that Kachi is happily married and was only helping her because of her heels.

She wrote, “Kachi is happily married, una don start. He was helping me cos of my heels.”

Recall that speculation about a possible split between Peggy and Frederick Leonard recently intensified after the actress removed her husband’s name from her Instagram bio.

Checks on her Instagram page revealed that Leonard’s name, previously visible in her profile, has now been deleted.

The development comes amid persistent rumours of marital trouble, which neither party has publicly addressed.

The couple, who tied the knot in 2022, have also noticeably avoided public appearances together in recent months and have not exchanged birthday greetings on social media.

Rumours of a rift first surfaced in December 2024 when Ovire shared a Christmas photo of herself in pyjamas without Leonard. Further speculation was fuelled in May 2025 when she posted a video preparing for a wedding event, this time without her wedding band.
