Simi, Adekunle Gold, react to divorce speculations
The manager of singer Simi has dismissed reports claiming that she and her husband, Adekunle Gold, are heading for a divorce, calling the rumours false.
Simi’s manager, Vincent, explained that the claim circulating on social media was based on a fabricated document purported to be a divorce petition from Adekunle Gold.
The document, dated February 28, 2026, alleged that the couple’s marriage had “irretrievably broken down” and cited emotional, financial, and professional issues. It also claimed to seek dissolution of the marriage and joint custody of their child.
Some online reports suggested the petition had been filed at the High Court of Lagos State, but the manager confirmed this was untrue.
Reacting to the document circulating online, Vincent said it contained clear indications that it was not genuine and pointed to what he described as technical legal errors.
“It’s fake and fabricated. First, stage names are not tenable in any court of justice worldwide as indicated in the document. Even the suit number on the document is backdated to 2024 (SUIT NO HCL/FC/2024/0178),” he said.
The rumour had gained traction on social media after old posts attributed to Simi resurfaced, with some users interpreting them as possible signs of marital strain. Adekunle Gold’s recent return to social media after a short break also sparked speculation among fans, with some reading meaning into his posts.
Simi and Adekunle Gold met as friends and collaborators before dating for several years and eventually getting married in January 2019. The couple welcomed their first child, a daughter named Adejare, popularly known as Deja, in 2020.
Earlier in 2026, the pair were also reported to have welcomed twins, a development that was celebrated by fans. The couple recently marked their seventh wedding anniversary and shared tributes to each other on social media.
