Marriage crash: Actress Chacha Eke drops estranged hubby’s name ‘Faani’

Actress Chacha Eke has finally removed her estranged husband, Austin Faani’s name from her Instagram account.

A check on her Instagram account on Friday, August 12 revealed that her Instagram bio has been changed from Chacha Eke Faani to Eke Charity Chimnonso.

For the second time in two years, Chacha announced the end of her nine-year-old marriage to movie director, Austin Faani.

The actress left a shocking message for her 4 million followers on Instagram in the early hours of Tuesday, June 28, where she revealed that she had been living a lie.

Chacha Eke explained that she left the marriage to movie director Austin Faani because she does not want to die in it as “many have died pretending all is well whilst wishing, hoping and praying for a better tomorrow.”

Chacha further stated that her estranged husband should be held responsible if she suddenly goes incommunicado.

WITHIN NIGERIA recalls Women’s rights activist, Esther Ijewere, like many celebrities and Nigerians, reacted to Nollywood actress, Chacha Eke’s latest post, stating she’s ‘done with her marriage‘.

Esther Ijewere stated that the actress made her and others look like liars two years ago when she first announced her marriage had ended.

Reacting to the message, Esther wrote:

“Leave to Live! It’s the same thing we told you 2 years ago. In Jesus name, put yourself and your kids first. No marriage is worth losing your safety and sanity for. Your children need you more. Please LEAVE. We can only advocate, the decision is yours to make. You made us look like liars 2 years ago, here we are again, Chacha, choose YOU first.”

In October 2020 Chacha announced that her marriage to Austin Fanni has ended, disclosing that he assaulted her.

She, however, retracted her statement, stating that the drama that surrounded her marriage at the time was due to the bipolar disorder she was suffering from.

The mother of four later released a video stating that she was still with her husband and that she would not leave her marriage.

Chacha and Austin got married in 2013.
