Businessman and philanthropist Churchill Olakunle has announced a renewed chapter of peace and cooperation with his ex-wife, Nollywood actress Tonto Dikeh, following what he described as a heartfelt reconciliation centered on their son, King Andre.
In an emotional statement, Olakunle revealed that he was “pleasantly surprised” when he received a call from his son for the first time, describing the moment King Andre called him “Daddy” as deeply touching and spiritually affirming.
“Hearing him call me ‘Daddy’ was a reminder that what God cannot do does not exist,” Olakunle said, attributing the breakthrough to faith, humility, and a commitment to healing.
He acknowledged what he termed the “growth and grace” displayed in how the long-standing conflict between him and Dikeh was resolved, noting that forgiveness had become the foundation for a fresh start.
“Forgiveness has paved the way for a new chapter and we are moving forward with a sense of peace and mutual respect,” he stated. “The conflict is behind us, and we are now focused on co-parenting with love, care, and a shared commitment to raising our son.”
Olakunle also expressed gratitude to Tonto Dikeh for her role as a mother, commending her efforts in raising King Andre and reaffirming his intention to maintain a collaborative and respectful relationship moving forward.
“I am grateful to have my son back in my life. Thank you to the amazing mother of my son, Tonto Dikeh, for doing a good job,” he added.
The reconciliation marks a significant moment for the former couple, whose relationship had previously been marred by public disputes. Observers say the renewed focus on co-parenting and mutual respect reflects a broader shift toward prioritizing the well-being of their child.
Both parties have yet to issue further official statements, but supporters have welcomed the development as a positive step toward lasting peace and stability for their family.
