A throwback video showing Nollywood actress Peggy Ovire praising her estranged husband, Frederick Leonard, has resurfaced online, drawing widespread reactions amid the couple’s ongoing marital dispute.
The clip, recorded during their wedding celebrations in 2022, captures Ovire describing Leonard as a faithful partner and explaining why she chose to marry him despite public scrutiny surrounding celebrity relationships.
At the time, the actress openly commended Leonard for what she described as his loyalty and commitment, stating that his character gave her confidence in their future together.
The resurfaced video has generated significant discussion on social media, particularly because it contrasts sharply with allegations Ovire recently made against the actor.
Earlier this week, the actress accused Leonard of deliberately delaying their divorce proceedings by allegedly failing to appear in court. She also claimed that he was involved in a relationship with a married woman before and during their marriage.
While Leonard has not publicly responded to the allegations, the renewed attention on the wedding clip has sparked debate among fans, with many pointing to the dramatic shift between Ovire’s earlier public praise and the couple’s current conflict.
Several social media users described the video as a reminder of how quickly relationships can change, while others cautioned against drawing conclusions before both parties have addressed the situation publicly.
The former couple, who tied the knot in a high-profile wedding ceremony in November 2022, were widely regarded as one of Nollywood’s admired celebrity unions.
As discussions continue online, the resurfaced footage has become a focal point in conversations surrounding the breakdown of their marriage and the allegations now making headlines.
