Popular Nollywood actress Chacha Eke has officially confirmed the end of her marriage to filmmaker Austin Faani, marking a difficult chapter in her personal life. The mother of four took to Instagram to share a raw, emotional post where she opened up about her pain, heartbreak, and strength.
In her words:
“I’ve said goodbye to the man I thought I would grow old with. I was loved, but not respected—so that isn’t love at all.”
Chacha detailed the emotional weight she has carried, revealing that alongside personal loss—including the sudden deaths of her parents and the heartbreaking loss of a child—she also bore the burden of a crumbling relationship.
“I’ve held heartbreak in one hand and responsibility in the other… watched the life I built collapse before my eyes.”
This isn’t the first time the actress has spoken about walking away from her marriage. In the past, she announced a split but later retracted it, explaining she had been dealing with bipolar disorder at the time.
Despite the renewed heartbreak, Chacha left fans with a message of resilience:
“Life is 10% what happens to you and 90% how you react to it.”
Her revelation has sparked a wave of emotional reactions online some supportive, others critical—with fans reflecting on her long journey through pain, healing, and self-discovery.
