Nigerian actress Rosy Meurer has sparked fresh online speculation after quietly removing her husband Olakunle Churchill's surname from her Instagram profile. Her display name, which previously read Rosalina Meurer Churchill, now appears simply as Rosalina Meurer. The subtle change has reignited public curiosity about the state of their relationship, coming just days after Churchill publicly denied that a legal marriage ever existed between them.
Churchill's Denial of Marriage
The surname update follows a statement by Olakunle Churchill in which he dismissed divorce rumours as completely false. In a post shared on Instagram, Churchill asserted that there was no legally recognised marriage, no church wedding, and no court wedding between him and Meurer. He described the event that took place as merely an introduction, making the idea of a divorce baseless from the outset. Churchill also questioned reports of legal proceedings, stating that he was never served any court documents and criticised what he called inaccurate legal claims.
Public Reactions to the Name Change
The online community has reacted swiftly to Meurer's profile adjustment. Many users expressed surprise and skepticism. One commenter, sunshyne_nice, remarked: 'You wan divorce man wey no marry you? Waka jeje.' Another user, learnwithjudith, observed: 'Some men are not marriage material; when will ladies learn.' nuliques added: 'I'll give it to her for pretending this long.' Others drew comparisons with other celebrity relationship changes, as bardi_sarah noted: 'Rose remove Churchill’s name, Annie added idibia back to her name….this life sef.' viviandion commented: 'I call him brother and he calls me sister tor , you wan divorce who no marry you.'
Influencer Warns Churchill
Meanwhile, influencer Àgbà John Doe, active on X (formerly Twitter), reacted to the viral divorce rumour. In a post, he stated that the split was a private decision and warned Churchill against returning to his ex-wife, actress and evangelist Tonto Dikeh, whom he referred to as his baby mama.
Neither Rosy Meurer nor Olakunle Churchill has issued further statements regarding the surname change, but the development has kept public attention fixed on the couple's unfolding story.
