Lagos, Nigeria, – Music legend Innocent Idibia, known globally as 2Face, has confirmed that he and his wife, Nollywood actress Annie Macaulay-Idibia, are filing for divorce. Following weeks of speculation, 2Face addressed his fans and well-wishers in a heartfelt statement.
“Hello to my beautiful people of all Federations. I and Annie Macaulay have been separated for a while now and currently filed for divorce. I will grant a press release soon to share my story—not because it is anyone’s right to know about my personal life, but because I love my people and I need them to know my innocence or offense. Stay blessed my people. I love you all,” 2Face wrote.
The announcement comes as a shock to many, especially since the couple recently celebrated their wedding anniversary. Annie had publicly dismissed rumors of a breakup, sharing emotional tributes and photos from their intimate celebration on social media. However, this revelation sheds light on the ongoing speculations about their marriage.
Over the years, 2Face and Annie’s relationship has faced numerous challenges, often playing out in the public eye. From infidelity rumors to family disputes, their love story has been anything but smooth. One notable controversy occurred in 2021 when Annie accused 2Face of spending nights with one of his baby mamas, sparking a heated social media drama.
Despite the turbulence, the couple appeared to reconcile, sharing loving photos and reaffirming their commitment in public appearances. However, tensions with 2Face’s family, particularly with his younger brother Charles Idibia, who accused Annie of being controlling and manipulative, further strained their relationship. Annie defended herself, insisting on her genuine love and support for 2Face.
Their journey began as an inspiring love story, culminating in a star-studded wedding in 2013. Annie stood by 2Face through his rise to fame and various controversies, symbolizing loyalty and resilience. However, 2Face’s history as a father to multiple children from different women often cast a shadow over their marriage. While Annie embraced his children as her own, the blended family dynamics sometimes led to misunderstandings.
The divorce announcement marks a significant turning point in their decade-long relationship. While 2Face has promised to share his side of the story, fans are left wondering what led to this final decision, especially after the couple seemed to have overcome many hurdles in the past. For Annie, this is undoubtedly a difficult period, as she has often been vocal about her love and devotion to 2Face, describing him as her soulmate in several interviews.
