Celebrity Mum-Of-Two, Simi Esiri Confirms The End Of Her Five Year Marriage To Dr. Sid
Speculations that the five year old marriage of celebrity couple, singer, Sidney Onoriode Esiri aka Dr Sid and wife, Simi has packed up has finally been confirmed by Simi. In a statement released on her Instagram handle, Simi said she and Dr Sid have parted ways for some time now and that a few people knew about it. According to her, they are moving forward separately, and their decision to divorce is a tough one.
Before now, the mum-of-two and her estranged hubby, Dr. Sid did not make public mention of their estrangement but yesterday a viral blog post shared that the couple’s marriage was over and it blamed the separation on Simi’s alleged resorting to physical violence towards her now ex-hubby whenever they had a misunderstanding.
The blog post likely irked the mum-of-two who then took to Instagram to confirm and dispute some parts of the story.
In Simi’s statement, she countered the claim that she has stopped her now ex from seeing their kids, insisting that they will co-parent their daughters.
Read Simi’s full statement below:
“I have been consciously silent on this but as some people are out to defame my character and integrity with a fabrication of facts, I am choosing to address it once and for all.
A lot of you may have known that for some time now, Sid and I are no longer together and are moving forward separately with the tough decision to divorce.
Our priority will now be working together as co-parents in raising our two beautiful girls.The incredibly false allegations recently written about our marriage ending due to me being domestically violent towards someone twice my size and also preventing him from seeing his children (when he has clearly shared recent pictures with our daughters at my home) only depicts the laughable lengths at which some press are willing to go for click baits, and be tolerated as I have stomached enough already.
Thanks you all in advance for your love, understanding and support while respecting our family’s privacy. I will not be commenting publicly beyond this.
Lots of love and God bless,
Simi.”
