The marriage between the former SoundCity presenter, Juliet Mgborukwe and Chima Ojukwu’s has been formally dissolved by a judge. After the divorce was finalized, she headed to Instagram to celebrate her new single-again status, and also opened up about the difficulties she encountered during the divorce proceedings.

The former couple got married in October 2011 and separated just a few months after their wedding ceremony in 2012. During that time, Juliet told reporters that the marriage had ended over “irreconcilable differences”.

In 2014, after numerous mediation between Juliet and Chima, the couple decided to give their marriage a second chance. The resulted in the actress moving to the US to start afresh with her husband.

In 2015, the couple’s first child, a baby boy was born, and in 2017, their second child, a baby girl was born at a hospital in the US.

After finalizing the divorce, Juliet wrote on Instagram that she had finally divorced a “narcissist”. She went on to write that divorce is “no joke” and “shouldn’t be an option in a marriage”. However, she wrote: “but if it puts your life and your kids’ life at risk, all I will say to you is please be brave.”

She wrote, in her own words on Instagram:

After a whole year of sleepless nights amidst the most challenging and emotional phase of my life going through a divorce, The meetings, the mediations, the conferences, the trials, the , the tears, the joy, the fights, the prayers, the guilt, the smile, the laughter, the goal, the strength, the courage, the regret, the confusion, the depression, the glory, the loneliness, the truth, IT IS FINALLY OVER. .

Divorcing a Narcissist is one of the most painful and stressful situation you can ever imagine!. I wish it didn’t have to end this way but at the end of it all what counts is what is in the best interest of my beautiful babies. .

After years of not wanting to let go, I have conquered my greatest fear of loosing my family but I also gained the strength to never give up and the love to put my children’s needs before my own. I am a ‘MOM’ first and that is what I will always be. Divorce is no joke and shouldn’t be an option in your marriage, but if it puts your life and your kids’ life at risk, all I will say to you is please be brave.

OFFICIALLY DIVORCED TODAY! Plus Donald Trump got impeached today too… OH Well!!!

To all the people that stood by me through this journey, THANK YOU SO MUCH! I LOVE YOU

Old chapter closed HELLO NEW CHAPTER!

Cheers to 2020.
