Peggy Ovire Adopts New Title Amid Divorce
Earlier, Legit.ng reported that Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire adopted a new title, referring to herself as “Miss Peggy Ovire” in a Snapchat video, following unconfirmed reports of her divorce from actor Frederick Leonard.
The development came shortly after she shared a cryptic post saying, “Thank You Jesus. It is Done,” which many linked to her marriage troubles.
This latest move follows weeks of public accusations against Leonard, including claims of infidelity and his failure to appear in court for divorce proceedings, further fueling speculation that their separation has been finalised.
