Beauty entrepreneur Adeola Adeyemi, widely known as Diiadem, has publicly denied rumours of a romantic relationship with businessman Olakunle Churchill, clarifying that their bond is purely platonic and dates back more than 13 years to her school days in Ghana.
Diiadem Addresses Rumours on Snapchat
In a series of Snapchat stories posted on August 15, 2026, Diiadem responded to speculation linking her to Churchill, who is married to actress Rosy Meurer. She insisted that their long-standing friendship should not be misconstrued, and that attending a friend's event does not warrant public scrutiny.
“I've known Big Church (Olakunle Churchill) for over 13 years. We have a long-standing friendship that dates back to my school days in Ghana. The pregnancy rumour being attached to our friendship is completely false,” she wrote.
Pregnancy Claim Clarified
In a follow-up post, Diiadem addressed a separate claim that she had confirmed being pregnant. She denied making any such admission and explained that her use of the phrase “my married ex” was simply referencing terminology already circulating publicly, not a personal revelation.
“I never admitted to being pregnant for anyone, nor did I confirm any of the narratives currently being circulated. The term 'my married ex' was simply me referencing a phrase that had already been used publicly. Somehow, that has now been turned into an entirely different story. Please, let's stop turning assumptions into facts,” she stated.
Fans React to Clarification
Social media users offered mixed reactions to Diiadem's clarification. Some praised her for addressing the rumours directly, while others remained sceptical or urged her to ignore online speculation.
