When celebrities break up, they typically move on quietly but not in the case of prominent Nigerian footballer Jude Ighalo and his estranged wife, Sonia Adesua, who have turned social media into their battleground.
For over three days now, the ex-couple have been cooking each other, throwing shades, and Sonia especially dragging the Super Eagles Striker all over the place. Because, according to the mother-of-3, she made him whoever he is today. In the same manner, she can destroy him.
Over a decade ago, Jude and Sonia were one of the hottest celebrity couples that made almost everyone green in envy.
Being blessed with three children, two sons and a daughter, was the icing on the cake. But as with most celebrity marriages, trouble hit their paradise in 2019, causing the power couple to part ways in 2020.
Since then, social media has had occasional gbas, gbos and drama. But in this latest episode, the couple have left many wondering if they still have the hots for each other and are just doing a familiar dance to get back together. Could this be the case? Or is one of them trying to move one and the other holding them back?
Rich and famous Nigerian footballer Odion Jude Ighalo may not be your favourite footballer at the moment, but he has helped the Nigerian National Team make history over the years.
The 34-year-old isn’t just regarded as a legend but a highly successful footballer who now plays for Saudi Arabian Club, Al-Wehda FC. Unfortunately, while Jude knows his way around a football pitch and ball, women and marriage don’t seem to be one of his strongest suits.
In 2009, the Nigerian Sports industry raised one of our favourite celebrity couples after Jude Ighalo walked down the aisle with his 19-year-old Edo-bride, Sonia Adesuwa Ughegbe-nebo.
The couple were all smiles, radiating with happiness and hope of a blissful forever journey. The footballer and his wife seemed to be living in paradise for a while. The couple were the envy of everyone, and many fans looked forward to their cute Christmas photos featuring their three adorable children every year.
In December 2018, the couple convinced us that nothing could ever come between them as they shut down Lagos to celebrate their 8th wedding anniversary.
Surrounded by family and celebrity friends, including Mercy Johnson Okojie and her husband, Prince, Asisat Oshoala, 2face Idibia, IK Ogbonna, Okey Bakassi, Charles Inojie, Lasisi Elenu, and BBNaija stars, Ifuennada and Khloe, the event was indeed a memorable one.
